Re: Ambient Air Sampling
Apartment: 11D
From: Fred Burkhardt
Date: January 11, 2002
On January 3, 2002, ATC collected one ambient air sample from within your apartment
to ascertain the presence or absence of airborne asbestos. The sample was collected
and analyzed in accordance with the more stringent AHERA Transmission Electron
Microscopy (TEM) method as set forth at 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E, Appendix A.
In the absence of a specific ambient air standard for asbestos, regulatory agencies have
been using the AHERA re-occupancy requirement following an asbestos abatement
action. This standard of an average of less than 70 asbestos structures per square
millimeter (<70 s/mm2) per sample set is the most stringent reoccupancy requirement
available, and has been designed to be protective of children following an asbestos
project.
Based upon the analytical result for your apartment of no asbestos structures
detected, which is below the AHERA clearance requirement, it is ATC's opinion that the
ambient conditions at the time of testing meet an acceptable criterion for 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 extension 343.
Thank You.
