Could I get in trouble for this?

File a third party suit with an Attorney who will work on contingency. If you think that you and other students have been exposed to the stuff, get all of them to sign on to the case. That way, Ten years from now when your lungs are bleeding out from exposure, you and all the other students will get nothing and your Attorney will walk away with a bundle of money. Moral of the story is: Dont bother with this, you might open up a bad can of worms you cant get rid of.

All they have to do is capture the dust and have it analyzed for asbestos content.

10-20 years applies to asbestosis, which is scarring of the lung tissue as a result of the overactive (and ineffective) immunoresponse to asbestos fibres inside the lungs.  That's not cancer.

The cancers commonly linked to asbestos exposure are lung and larynx with some studies suggesting slightly increased risk for a few others (stomach, pharyngeal, colorectal, gastrointestinal).  There are no consistent numbers I've ever seen on latency periods for asbestos related cancers since it is so heavily dependent on things like exposure levels and exposure durations.

I was thinking of mesothelioma, a form cancer which affects the linings of the internal organs, but the waiting period on that is 20 to 50 years, as opposed to 10-20

Hey, did you go to my college? I ask because you have that defeatist apathy thing down pat! You could, like, be an unmotivational speaker or something.
