I sleep near the ceiling of my wall, because of my bunk. I do not know if I sleep in the vicinity of asbestos, and I often against the wall of the accident. It could be anything, but I’m worried if I was really a dangerous gamble that about me or is it just does not seem dangerous placement bin.Es like that?

from looking at that picture that reminds me of what is called a blown ceiling. as far as asbestos goes if the home is fairly new i would not worry about it. if the home is over 30 yrs old then i would contact your local health dept (not 100% sure) to see if there is a test that can be done.contacting the local health dept may not be the right answer but im sure they could lead you to the right place.
How old is your building? Most newer buildings have had abestos abatement done.
Your could ask your landlord.
If you own the building, you’ll have to bring in an expert.
well, as far as my knolegde goes… if your worried about it dont, asbestos isn’t as bad as you think, i.e. many water pipes are made out of the crap and that’s normal. but if your still convinced that your going to die from your celing, and if the room is small, then replacing it is always an option (if you know how to do drywall) shouldn’t cost more than 50 bucks. it’s not hard either just cut and nail it in.
however the picture, all i see is “texture” or basically a stuff that is similar to plaster of pairs.
anyway if i was in your position i would have someone look at it, because then you know for sure it is or isnot asbestos, and can put your mind at ease or to sleep in this case. (actually i wouldn’t care. but that’s another question to answer)
That’s a popcorn ceiling: it’s made of gypsum and is harmless (I’ve installed it).
There are no such things as “asbestos walls”. Only things asbestos in buildings is really old insulation and a type of tile used as an exterior siding (both pre-1970′s) .
