hi there.
I previously posted and was wondering what material was in the wall I tore down yesterday. Now I have confirmed from the assistant property manager that it was blåbetong and got a bit worried since I forgot to use a mask, meaning I surely inhaled some dust that's not great for the lungs. But I also asked the assistant property manager about the radon levels, and he said they were below the limit, which should mean that the amount of radon in the wall I tore down can't be sky-high, otherwise the radon meter should have shown higher readings, right? Or am I thinking completely wrong?
How can you tell if there is asbestos in blåbetongen? I read somewhere that it could also contain it. I am a non-smoker and have heard that one doesn't need to worry as much as a heavy smoker. I would be very grateful for help as I am worried about how much junk I have inhaled. Grateful for answers!

You can completely relax. Blåbetong was only dangerous for those who worked with mining it, or for a slightly increased risk of lung cancer for those living with high radon levels, not for someone who has demolished a wall or so. It's probably comparable to taking a puff or walking along the main street in any city... 
how nice to hear!! can relax a bit then, thank you so much!!
