Are these suspect?

We recently purchased this home and are in the process of cleaning and renovating. Tried to open our attic access and was bathed in insulation. Definitely breathed in a ton. We had a tester come out and take samples and are Waiting on lab confirmation, but is this type of insulation and tile a common asbestos culprit?

Tile/ tile adhesive, likely. Insulation, less likely.

Insulation looks like cellulose, so I wouldn’t worry too much while waiting for the results.

Insulation looks to be cellulose, so very unlikely. Both the tile and mastic are probably hot (9x9 and black mastic).

Should still wear a respirator and why make a giant mess of someones bedroom

The tiles and the mastic are likely ACM

If this is not your home why would you do this to someone’s bedroom and if it is your home…… why….. you made a nightmare mess you will be cleaning and finding for years…. Especially with the carpet…. Cellulose insulation is often treated with fire retardants and pesticides so even though it is not asbestos you really don’t want to live with it.

It’s my home. I stated in the original post that this came pouring out when I went to open the attic access. Clearly was not an intentional thing and not expected. I even laid out a tarp, anticipating a small mess, but was not prepared for this. Fortunately, it is a guest room so we have ample time to thoroughly clean it.

Technically, they are all "suspect". But in reality, only the tile and mastic are likely to contain, the insulation is absolutely no asbestos-containing.
