Re: Limited Ambient Environmental Sampling

Dear Mr. Dagger:
J.C. Broderick & Associates, Inc. (JCB) performed limited environmental sampling at the above
referenced location. The environmental sampling consisted of the following:
Ambient asbestos Micro Vac sampling was performed by a New York State Department of
Labor (NYS DOL) certified inspector and air sampling technician. The sample collected was
analyzed utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) via ASTM analysis method
D5755-95. This is a qualitative methodology, therefore any detectable concentration of
asbestos fibers is a failing result.
One (1) composite MicroVac sample was collected from the apartment. As you can reference
from the attached analytical report, this sample did reveal a detectable concentration of
asbestos fibers. The MicroVac sample collected from the closet did not reveal any detectable
concentrations of asbestos fibers.
Dust wipe sampling for the presence of lead, copper, and chromium was performed by an
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified inspector. Analysis of samples was
conducted by an Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) certified laboratory.
The current standard for lead dust in the New York City Department of Health Code part
173.14.e.4.dd., specifies that to clear a work area for re-occupancy after performing certain
lead hazard remediation work, clearance dust wipe testing for floor samples must be equal
to, or less than 40 micrograms of lead per square foot.
