In about 1999 around then I was going to a special school for deaf and blind kids.?

Question:

It was a residential school. They found asbestos in the dorms, so we had to stay in a different building til they cleaned it all out. When I returned to my dorm room, I found this white powder on my belongings...like my little cart I had stuff in. Do you think it was asbestos that I touched??

Answers:
I doubt it; probably sawdust, sanding dust, or even regular ole dust. The folks who remove asbestos are required by the EPA to remove the dust along with the asbestos. Touching asbestos won't hurt you; only inhaling it.

with the information given it is hard to tell......but if they did any drywall work it is more likely to be that.....which is harmless........im sure that the company hired to remove the asbestos would be careful not to contaminate the surrounding areas......i dont think you have anything to worry about
