thank you for your reply. he wore a kn95 mask. that probably is not as good. I asked him to double it up with the masks but nope. what male listens to a female? this was the bathroom in the downstairs. when I got home my son wanted to conduct experiments with his present so we stayed downstairs since it has a ceramic floor and can easily be cleaned up. now, you have to turn the corner in order to see the bathroom he was working on. he did not turn off the heat so now I feel like we are all inhaling every particle because of our vent system.

last year our friend knocked the wall down in the laundry room. never thought about getting it tested and he acted like it was not a big deal. he removed some installation and never did it pass my mind. husband said we are doomed because of that work if this comes back positive.

A n-95 is better but a kn95 is better than nothing. Closing the vent or turning off the heat when he’s working is a good idea. Personally I would be more concerned with the regular dust particles than with any asbestos. It sounds like thats what gave your son a stuffy nose.

Even if there is a positive result on the asbestos test I still wouldn’t be very worried. There are guys who work with old drywall every day for decades and never develop any problems.
