i didnt touch it but i did place some bags on top of it while being in the loft . what is it.

So two days ago, I have entered my loft for the second time I opened the hatch and I went up. I didn’t go fully up so was sat on the edge of the hatch With the loft roof fully removed of course. Essentially my legs were dangling to the bottom part of the house and my upper body was inside and I’d seen yellow mattress looking insulation things ( sparkles in torch light closely) so I have a few questions to the professionals, is this asbestos? I have also done my due diligence and apparently it is possibly non-bio soluble or bio soluble fibreglass insulation . how old or new does this insulation look roughly so that I can pinpoint to find out exactly if it is bio soluble or non-soluble, because I’ve done my fair amount of research and as both of them apparently are both non-deadly and non-carcinogenic to humans and apparently this is backed up by years of facts and science which is somewhat relieving to know. I’ve also attached a few images where you can see these wood shavings looking things appear to be. ( what is that?) I don’t know what it is exactly and some blue Rocky grainy , things inside the yellow box which I’ve also attached in a picture , what on warth is that? I didn’t touch it. just on the side of the hatch as you open loft) If you can tell me that would be great .

The reason I’m coming on here it’s because I’m so terrified because two days ago I sat on the edge ,daughter was handing me stuff from the bottom ,as in heavy boxes with my old gift sets and bags etc and put them on top of the insulation , I didn’t cut or tear into the material at all. That’s not what happened. I just simply placed these heavy items on top of the insulation and I’m worried that I’ve inhaled some of the airborne stuff and I’m just going through this anxiety loophole which I can’t seem to break out of. so I do have a lot of anxiety anyways so please tell me am I just being dramatic and a hypochondriac? i was up there for no longer than 10 mins , I’m fully aware that I should’ve done this with a mask as it isn’t good to inhale bad things anyways like bbq smoke or pollution but apparently it isn’t dangerous to humans thats the reason it was made as a safer alternative to asbes . I just need to hear it from a professional for relord and peace of mind xx appreciate you all xx
