Re: Report of TEM Analysis
Dear Mr. Santo:
Following are the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
analysis of air samples from our Group No. 6303:
Project Name: I.S. 89M, 201 Warren St., NY, NY
Location: Floors 1-6
Samples received: 01/10/02
These results will confirm and document the data transmitted today
to Mr. Michael Parpounas, Director of Asbestos Services, of our
office. The analyses were performed in strict conformance with the
methodology of the AHERA Final Rule (CFR 763, Appendix A to Subpart
E, October 30, 1987) for clearance of abatement sites.
The results of the sample analyses may be found on the attached
document.
Copies of the bench sheets are also included as stipulated by
AHERA. MM1 TEM cassettes, Lot No. 1358, were used. Results
reported as Struct/cc are a function of air volume collected in the
field and are, as such, not verifiable by this laboratory. This
report may be reproduced only in its entirety and not without prior
permission of this laboratory. If post-abatement inside samples
pass, the response action may be considered to have been completed.
The analyses were supervised by Dr. Michael A. Gorycki, Director of
Electron Microscopy.
We are pleased to note that our TEM lab has received full
accreditation from NVLAP, as is currently required for recognized
analysis of TEM air samples for AHERA projects, and also approval
under the NY State DOH ELAP program. These analyses were performed
by ATC d/b/a ATC Associates Inc. Please contact me regarding any
questions relating to these materials.
Very truly yours,
Michael A. Gorycki, Ph.D.
Director of Electron Microscopy
