Dear Mr. Zuckerman:
The following is a summary of the indoor environmental quality survey that Ambient Group, Inc.
performed on January 3, 2002 at One North End Avenue. The survey included sampling for airborne
metals (including silica scan), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and airborne asbestos structures by
TEM.
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 13 and from the lobby and analyzed by transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) for asbestos strnctures. The results of the analysis indicated that airborne
asbestos levels at the time of testing were less than the analytical sensitivity of the instrument, which is
well below the EPA standard of 70 structures/mm2 as well as other recommended industry guidelines
and/or regulations.
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 13 and from the lobby and analyzed for metals in air
(including silica). All measured metals revealed levels well below their respective OSHA PELs and
NIOSH RELs. Levels of cristobalite and quartz detected in the silica scan were also below the NIOSH
REL of 0.05 mg/m3.
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 13 and from the lobby and analyzed for polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons in air. Analysis of all four (4) samples collected revealed that the levels of the
individual compounds were below the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits and NIOSH REL guidelines.
Please refer to the attached laboratory data sheets for further details. Should you have any questions
regarding this information, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Signed for Ambient Group, Inc. by:
