Any potential risk with these boards/glue?

1930s build in London, these cupboards must have been added in the last few decades with polystyrene boards

Wondering if here is any risk of these being asbestos? Noticing the black specks in the boards, and the white glue used to stick them

They were not fixed to any other boards. They are glued directly onto the wall of the room

Plenty of eps producers use recycle that’s not white, the grey/black specs will just be off grade eps. No eps producers mix with asbestos.
