which is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard for exposure to lead in
construction industry based on an 8-hour exposure (time weighted average).
In summary, no asbestos was detected was detected in any of the samples; lead was detected
in dust in the HVAC units and elevator pits, but not in air samples.
Remedial Action
All areas with an accumulation of dust were thoroughly cleaned and filters changed prior to re-
energizing the HVAC system. Cleaning was performed on September 17, 2001 by PAL
Environmental Safety Corporation and included the use of HEPA equipped vacuum cleaners to
remove the dust, followed by a wet wiping of surfaces. Immediately following the remedial
activities, EMTEQUE Corporation collected samples of the cleaned surfaces which were
analyzed for lead. Results revealed no detectable lead.
Air sample and clearance wipe sample results have been attached for your review. Should you
have any questions or require additional clarification, please feel free to contact me at your
earliest convenience.
Sincere r,
Eric Telemaque
