Attached please find the Air Monitoring Data and Chain of Custody Forms (28 pages) for the
ambient air samples collected by ATC Associates and analyzed by phase contrast microscopy
(PCM). Samples were collected from three hallway locations and two apartments on each floor
of 400 Chambers Street. Apartments sampled are identified in the following table.

All samples collected recorded fiber levels less than 0.01 f/cc. However, particulate matter
raised by maintenance activities obscured the initial analysis of the sample collected from the
apartment 9A. This sample was subsequently analyzed using an analogous method and
recorded a level less than 0.01 f/cc, consistent with the other four samples collected from the
ninth floor and does not present an issue at this time.
In conclusion, based upon the analytical results recording fiber concentrations below the NYC
acceptable airborne clearance requirement following an abatement action, it is ATC's opinion
that the ambient air samples collected throughout the building meet an acceptable criterion for
re-occupancy. If you have any questions or require additional explaination of the information
presented please do not hesitate to call me at 212-353-8280.
Thank You.
