I am starting to worry...does plaster (built in 1972) have asbestos?


Plaster and gypsum board in those days commonly used asbestos.

I wouldn't worry about a few short exposures, although fine dusty fibers
are exactly what you should worry about if anything. Get a respirator that
fits, and wet wash everything.
