Dear Mr. Zuckerman:
The following is a summary of the indoor environmental quality survey
that Ambient Group, Inc.
performed on December 19, 2001 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, 11 and 15 and analyzed by
transmission electron
microscopy (TP-M) for asbestos structures. 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
the EPA standard of 70 structures/mm2 as well as other recommended industry below
guidelines and/or
regulations.
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 11 and 15 and analyzed for metals in
silica). All measured metals revealed levels well below their air (including
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, 11 and 15 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:
