Can anyone tell me what this is please? My dad kept assuring me it was just "fluff board" with white paint, and nothing to worry about (i.e. not asbestos). Can anyone corroborate that? It's a green board that's quite soft and tears easily into pieces. I was worried the "paint" looked a bit textured but I think it's just the board underneath giving that effect. Google doesn't show anything relevant when I search fluff board! I've included a photo of where it's been torn off from too just for reference.

Thanks in advance

It's Homasote®

The way it tears and the surface texture are diagnostic.

Celluose - paper fiber.

If you want absolute confirmation that it doesn't contain asbestos, there are reasonably-priced labs which can check a sample for you.
