Hi Aparks, Here's a link that may help: https://www.bergmanlegal.com/asbestos-popcorn-ceilings/
Good luck, an be careful!!
First thing to ask is how old is it? If it was installed after the 1977 there is very little chance of containing asbestos. If in doubt, Amazon sells a variety of test kits but you may also contact your local government and ask for a testing recommendation.
They sell kits. Here is a link.

The only way I know of whereby you'd know for sure is to have it tested.
You can buy asbestos test kits at the home centers and hardware stores.
I'd personally have it done professionally, cuz you don't want to mess with that stuff! Hope it turns out ok and it's not asbestos!
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP
Hi there, if your home was built prior to 1985 the chances are good that you have asbestos ceilings. To check you can get asbestos testing kits on Amazon. Here's one example - https://www.amazon.com/Asbestos-Test-Bus-Days-Schneider/dp/B008J3ZK8M
