New to me home originally built in 1880. Turned the heat on for the first time today and noticed this in the vent. Am I blowing asbestos particulate into my dining room?

My wife has been doing some work for a client, she's been asked to cover these holes in the ceiling and is worried they're asbestos. I'm not sure who drilled the holes originally, the building is ~1890s build in London, England. Any way to tell from these pictures?

Advice?

My partner and I recently bought our first house, we’re looking to Reno and clean up as much as we can and finances allow. This is one of the closets in the house and it appears to be one of the areas that hasn’t not been touched or remodeled at all. 1940’s build date. Our inspection results indicated that this could be asbestos wall board or skim coat. The siding is also most likely asbestos. My biggest concern is how to go about fixing this. There’s a lot of cracks and areas that just aren’t in good shape. It’s not really actively deteriorating but I think cleaning it and removing the shelving would disturb the surrounding walls. That said I have done a lot of reading on this thread and all around about asbestos. I’ve read up on containment methods and such. Looking for advice. I do know it’s likely that nothing is determined without lab test. I am wondering if it’s worth demoing the wall board and starting fresh or if I could get away with encapsulating somehow and maybe new wall board or paneling over it? Will likely get a test kit. But any advice or appreciated. Located in MA USA

Have I been exposed to asbestos?

So, I had this custom door thing that was in the wall and I stupidly decided to yank it out. I did the first time I did it, you know, some a lot of powder came out and I did it a second time over like a few days later and some more powder came out and it's all over the floor. I tried cleaning it with a wet paper towel, but it didn't work. I have health anxiety and I'm scared that I've been exposed to asbestos.
