Dear Mr. Luckennen:
that Ambient Group.
The following is a summary of the indoor environmental quality survey
survey included
Inc. perfbrnied on October 16`h, 2001 at the above referenced location. The
temperature, relative
sampling for airborne metals, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
humidity, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and airborne asbestos structures by TEM.
that all
Analysis of all indoor readings for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide revealed
ASHRAE and other recommended industry
indoor readings were below OSHA, ACGIII,
guidelines and/or regulations.
humidity
The indoor temperature readings ranged from 66.0'F to 69.6'Ir. The indoor relative
readings ranged from 53.4% to 60.7%. All indoor relative humidity readings were consistent
as well as
with the conditions described in the ASHRAE 55-1992 thermal comfort standard
were slightly below the AS!IRAE
ideal indoor conditions. The indoor temperature readings
55-1992 thermal standard for fall/winter months (69°F - 76°F).
and analyzed
Four (4) TEM samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 11 and from the lobby
(TEM) for asbestos structures. The results of the
by transmission electron microscopy
analysis indicated that airborne asbestos levels inside and outside the building 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.
for
Four (4) air samples were collected from floors 3, 7, 11 and from the lobby and analyzed
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.
