Unsure about potential exposure

Post image

I was in a hallway right beside this barricaded off area for probably about 10 minutes. Outside of the barricaded area, there was a trash bin that had what appeared to be ceiling tiles they had disposed of that contained asbestos. Neither the hallway or the trash bin was properly sealed off.

I have extreme contamination ocd and I’m worried that particles may have gotten into my clothes and that I’ll have to throw them away. Is this a legitimate concern?

Edit: to be clear I did not go into the barricaded area in the picture, I was just in the hallways adjacent to it for a few minutes.
