Hi, I moved to a housing association flat about 15 years ago. Before I moved in I decided to paint two of the rooms. The flat had no carpet, just chipboarding. I decorated for about a week, sitting/neeling on the dusty floor, jeans covered in dust etc.
Recently I was thinking about this because I now know that the ceilings are confirmed asbestos artex. I was thinking that when the flat was first built/decorated in the late 70s the ceilings would have been created directly above the floors I'd been sitting on. Now I know it sounds silly but I'm really frightened. I can't stop thinking that the original artex powder may have been slightly spilled and never properly cleaned up and perhaps splodges of artex fell to the floor too. I imagine that the flat has had a fair few tenants since the late 70s and carpets have been and gone. I don't know if that's helpful at all. If anything that just makes me feel worse for some reason.
I hope someone on here understands what I mean by all this
