Re: Report of TEM Analysis
Dear Mr. Burkhardt:
Following are the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
analysis of air samples from our Group No. 5805:
Client: Tribeca Park
Project Name: 400 Chambers Street, NY, NY
Location: Various Sites
Samples received: 11/01/01
These results will confirm and document the data transmitted today
to your office. The analyses were performed in strict conformance
with the methodology of the AHERA Final Rule (CFR October 30, 1987)
for clearance of abatement sites. As indicated on the attached
document, less than 70 asbestos structures per mm2 was detected in
all of the nineteen ambient samples submitted from the site.
Nuclepore TEM cassettes, Lot No. 98117167, were used.
Results reported as Struct/cc are a function of air volume
collected in the field and are, as such, not verifiable by this
laboratory. This report may be reproduced only in its entirety and
not without prior permission of this laboratory. If post-abatement
inside samples pass, the response action may be considered to have
been completed. The analyses were supervised by Dr. Michael A.
Gorycki, Director of Electron Microscopy.
We are pleased to note that our TEM lab has received full
accreditation from NVLAP, as is currently required for recognized
analysis of TEM air samples for AHERA projects, and also approval
under the NY State DOH ELAP program. These analyses were
performed by ATC d/b/a ATC Associates Inc. Please contact me
regarding any questions relating to these materials.
Very truly yours,
Michael A. Gorycki, Ph.D.
Director of Electron Microscopy
