Is there any indication that this old peeling paint contains asbestos? (Sorry for the picture link but my lemmy server is not currently working with attachments). Thanks.

I think asbestos was used more for insulation, right?

It was also used for some paints until circa 1980.

Pretty common to be used in tile too. It was a great material until we realized it causes cancer.
