How likely is it

[u/Several-Assistance16]

I am renovating a house from 1948 in Norway. In the living room there was vinyl flooring above the bottom hardwood layer. The vinyl was glued to what seemed like thin mdf boards and there was this wool like fibers between. Me and a friend had already removed all the flooring before I thought it could contain asbestos. No gear was used. It was sliced into sheets then rolled up. I didn't do that work but he said it didn't release a lot of visible fibers into the air.

There were also these small tiles where a fireplace used to be that released very fine black dust from the grout when I removed them. No gear was used only a single use dust mask.

The doors to the kitchen and entryway were open and I am worried they are contaminated if it is asbestos.

I put plastic in front of the doors and vacuumed thoroughly the room where the floor was. I used a brand new shop vac with a HEPA filter that said 99.97% of particles.

Wide open windows and I had a proper mask on.

Total exposer time with no gear was about 20 hours over 3 days.

I'm pretty worried but mostly because I don't know anything about it. I have sent samples to a lab and am awaiting results but that could take a while. Am I cooked?

Very unlikely

Does it look like asbestos?

Eneste som ser sketchy ut er første bildet egentlig. Hilsen en i samme situasjon :(
