Anyone who can/wants to take a guess at what materials I've found under my old door casing?!
I see wood in some places, but what else?
I think it looks like some kind of coarse paper and nailed paper strip in the first picture.
For what purpose?
The second I wonder if it could be some form of soft wood fiberboard. Tretex?
The board is quite thick, probably about 4 cm or something like that. Maybe even thicker.
Is there a risk of asbestos in any of these materials or is it okay to keep tearing down and spreading dust?
Right now it looks like the pictures. Around the entire door opening, on both sides. Can I leave it like that for a few weeks or should I put a new door casing on soon, so as not to inhale more dust from this?
What do you think about the first picture then?
Some thicker cardboard with nailed paper strips.
What is it and why is it there?
Plain paper or risk of asbestos?
Should you insulate around the door before the trim is installed?
Apparently, there are fairly narrow gaps, so I think the craftsman plans to skip the insulation.
Difficult to get in mineral wool or whatever he was planning to insulate with.
Is it an okay decision to skip the insulation?
Don't you think your concern about asbestos has gone overboard?
Just a thought, since you've started 59 forum threads asking if there's asbestos in various things in your home. If you're so pathologically afraid of asbestos, maybe it's better to buy a newly built house where there is guaranteed to be no asbestos.
It's quite tiresome to see all the threads that are about asbestos.

I think it's more tiresome to see someone who takes the time to count the number of threads started by Stina71 on the subject. But luckily, if it gets too overwhelming, I can skip over that type of post and move on with my life.
Thank you to those who give me informative and constructive answers!
I don't want to bother anyone with my questions and had actually thought that if someone dislikes my questions, they can simply choose not to read, move on, and focus on something else. Instead of spending energy questioning. I have the right to ask the questions I'm pondering, just like anyone else. However, no one needs to comment on the post if they don't want to.
For A, I answer with tretex and for B, regular paperboard that was used, for example, to prevent the sawdust in the wall from falling through the gaps in the board. Both completely harmless.
