Asbestos in loft?

Looks like old plasterboard to me. The image is a bit dodgy though.
If you click on it, it does open up into a decent res image.
I did! What you using, an old Nokia?
Might be cos of the amount of zoom I used lol. Asbestos scares me to **** to I ain’t getting closer just in case. I’ll try get a better image.
Plasterboard
The fibreglass isn’t particularly old, at least - the top layer isn’t which is the one I’ve moved out the way. The top layer was done in 2011 by my mother!
Must admit, fibreglass doesn’t scare me like asbestos does. Got a mask and disposable suit coming tomorrow so I can get this suspect material out and send some off for sampling. If it’s not asbestos then no loss other than £20.
Even if it was asbestos (which it does not look to be) the fibres are not floating about or would be in such quantities like you will get from fibreglass that is just lying there, let alone lifted. So you should be as concerned with fibreglass.
If that material has what looks like grey paper on the sides and a different colour core, it's not asbestos material.
