I have a cracked popcorn ceiling in my room. if it contains asbestos is this dangerous? or would the asbestos level be too low to cause serious harm?

Have it tested: To determine whether your ceiling contains asbestos, scrape a small sample from the corner of your ceiling and send it to an accredited lab for asbestos testing or pick up a home test kit. If it does contain asbestos, it is safest to have it removed by a professional. Best not to take chances with asbestos. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
