Ambient Project #211338
Dear Mr. Zuckerman:
The following is a summary of the indoor environmental quality survey that Ambient Group, Inc.
performed on November 29, 2001 at One North End Avenue. The survey included sampling for airborne
metals (including silica scan), polynuelear aromatic hydrocarbons and airborne asbestos structures by
TEM.
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 9 and Ii and analyzed by transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) 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 below
the EPA standard of 70 structures/mm2 as Well as other recommended industry guidelines and/or
regulations.
Four (4) air samples wcre collected from floors 3, 7, 9 and 11 and analyzed for metals in air (including
silica). All measured metals revealed levels well below their respective OSHA 1'ELs and NIOST! Rr,I,s.
Levels of cristobalite and quartz detected in the silica scan were also below the NIOSII REL of
0.05 mg/m3.
Pour (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 9 and 11 and analyzed for polynuelear 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 IML guidelines.
Please refer to the attached Iaboratory data sheets for further details. Should you have any questions
regarding this information, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
