I moved into my home 12 years ago and on the walls it had some textured wallpaper which I left for 12 years...till now. I scraped some off and I noticed dust particles in the air from it.

Could anyone tell me if the attached pic would potentially have asbestos in it?

I highly doubt it and I don’t think asbestos was used in domestic, if at all any wall paper. Looks like anaglypta to me.

It was commonly used in wallpaper pre 1980s I think.

If in doubt get it tested ... or just take appropriate protecting when removing it.
