v!ATC ASSOCIATES I N C. Ambient Air Sampling

Subject: Tribeca Towers 105 Duane Street Re: Ambient Air Sampling Location: 10 Floor common hallway, 2nd floor Mechanical Room From: Fred Burkhardt Date: December 19, 2001

On December 12, 2001, ATC collected a total of ten ambient air samples, five from within the 10th floor. common hallway and five within the 2nd floor mechanical room to

t ascertain the presence or absence of airborne asbestos. The samples were collected at the request of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) in response to a tenant complaint regarding hallway duct cleaning operations. Samples I were 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 I 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 I available, and has been designed to be protective of children following an asbestos project.

Based upon the analytical results from both the 10th floor hallway and 2nd floor mechanical room of no asbestos structures detected, which is below the AHERA clearance requirement. It is ATC's opinion that duct-cleaning activities did not result in elevated asbestos levels within those spaces, and the ambient conditions sampled at the time of testing meet an acceptable criterion for occupancy. If you have any 'I questions or require additional explaination of the information presented please do not hesitate to call me at 212-353-8280 extension 343.

Thank You.
