Removed Asbestos Tiles

I removed tiles from my basement that may potentially contain asbestos. I used an edger and scrapped up the tiles from the floor. In some areas, the adhesive was pretty difficult to lift the tile, and the tile crumbled when I was lifting it from the floor. When placing it in the garbage bag, I had to break some of the tiles so that the fit in the bag. Although I am not sure if the tiles contain asbestos, I am really concerned about the potential for airborne asbestos in my basement. The area with the tile was not that big, but still concerns me. We were not notified by the previous home owner that the house contained floor tiles with asbestos. The basement floor was covered with rug, which we had to toss after flooding.

What should I do next?
