Asbestos In Popcorn Ceilings

how can i find out if asbestos was used in my popcorn ceiling?
my house was built towards the end of 1984. is there a chance that there might be asbestos in the acoustic (popcorn) ceiling?
According to info I’ve seen on the web, if the home was built after 1975 or so, there should not be asbestos. We recently made an offer on a house and had some “popcorn” tested to see if it contained asbestos. We looked in the yellow pages under Environmental…..and found an asbestos testing lab. We sent about 1/2 cup of the “popcorn” to the lab, they tested it and called with the result. Then they sent us a document for our records. Was all done in 2 days. Cost $30.00 (in Washington State)
