Was in the loft the other day and noticed that there was a lot of 'dust' coming from the loft insulation .

The insulation was in the loft when we bought the house 25 years ago - we have not changed it

Might be a silly question - but is there any chance that the material used in the insulation could be dangerous - e.g asbestos or other

Thanks
