I cut out a section of 32 yr old stucco covered ceiling drywall to reach a plumbing problem. In the process a fair amount of dust was created, though I wore a basic filter mask (designed to be worn while sanding paint etc). I still breathed in some dust though. With the older drywall and stucco covering, how likely is it that I inhaled asbestos. All told, it was probably for an hour or less. Room was vacuumed afterward. To repair hole, I will need to cut out more ceiling to expose wood beams to nail up new drywall, but am now concerned about asbestos. Any knowledge out there on what the risk factors are in this work and if so, how to best limit it to finish work. Suggestions appreciated
