Woven wallpaper - fiberglass or asbestos?

[Joppe11]

Hello
I just tore out a cabinet in the laundry room and hope to God it's not asbestos

Fiberglass....

Fiberglass....

Thank you. How can one know?

Take a sample and send it for analysis... Or stop having asbestos panic about everything, that works too.

Where then?

Some things are pretty reasonable to "panic" about. That crap is no walk in the park, you surely know that.

I'm not going to help you google, and I'm also not allowed to encourage you to do it, but there are plenty of companies that would gladly take your money for an analysis.

You don't die from a little asbestos, but you surely know that, it's LONG-TERM exposure that's dangerous.

Fiberglass fabric.

If you carefully remove wallpaper with a mask and good ventilation, it's not a problem.
Those who have been harmed by asbestos mainly worked in, for example, Limhamn's asbestos factory for many years without protective equipment.

Imagine how nice it would be if we could get a grip on the Swede's asbestos panic someday.

Looks like fiberglass. What makes you suspect asbestos?

No suspicion, but the house is from the late 1970s. Just want to be on the safe side since it's not my area. .
