   No. But the dust particles will still be irritating when you breathe them in, so I would try to take them off in as few pieces as possible.

   *I would also wear a facemask just as I would with any other material like this.

   *The old fiberboard panels around here that were installed in the 30's and 40's were actually made out of sugar cane husks. They would shred them, mix them with some compounds, and press them into panels. A paper face was then applied (kinda like wallpaper). We had a plant here until the early 1950's that made these panels. Yours could be a little different. I still doubt that they contain asbestos though.James

   My house was built in the 30's. The interior walls are made of very unstable, unattractive fiber board panels. I plan on tearing them down and putting up sheet rock. I want to know if these panels are made of asbestos.
