Vermiculite found in wall

[unbrokenspark]

I was ripping up lathe and discovered some vermiculite and it definitely got airborne and then I found another spot I didn’t mess with that one.

What are my options here there’s not a lot, should I shop vac it put it in the trash? Call someone?? Not sure what to do. I just thought about leaving this spot and sweeping whats on the floor back into the wall and flipping the floor osb. and leaving it alone. thoughts??

If this is your personal home; Suit up and get rid of it. Keep handling to a minimum. No shop vac.
If this is a job your on, your required to hire an abatement company to get rid of it, if it's in your way.
