House was built in the 1950s. The light blue plastic tiles pictured are glued down with a layer of adhesive (light brown) that covers the span of the walls. The dabs of adhesive (darker brown) were used for paneling that covered the tiles. The tiles break easily as they are a 1/32" thick. Could any of these materials be asbestos?

Yes. They could be, the time era is right.

Or not.

You can't tell by looking at them.

A laboratory test is required to tell. Shop around and don't get overcharged for the testing.
