Can popcorn ceilings really give you cancer 20 years later?
britney asked:
Some parts of my ceiling popcorn each were from something while I was hanging up and I 'm. very concerned that no inhale. I 'm. not 100% sure if it has asbestos in it or not, it 'a lot of apartment construction in the old SA in San Diego. I'm going to get cancer by inhaling a bit of it?

If you don’t know, it’s better to assume there is asbestos in your ceiling. I live in Orange County and it’s definitely been used here.
The CDC in Atlanta Georgia would probably be able to give you a definitive answer as to the dangers of a small amount, but I would guess you have nothing to worry about.
If you ever decide to remove your own acoustic ceiling, be sure to wear a protective mask.
