The paper on the exterior of drywall made in 1977, or the spackling compounds use to bridge the space between two pieces of drywall, may contain asbestos, or it may not. The only way to know for sure is to have a sample collected by a person who is qualified to do that, and have it analyzed by a lab that is qualified and experienced in asbestos analysis.
