Environmental Sampling:
Enviro Techniques, Patterson NJ (973) 684-0202 was contracted to perform
indoor air testing. Mr. Panico states that indoor air tests were performed in 191
apartments and there were 18 apartments whose tenants would not allow testing
inside their apartment so air samples were taken outside the apartment door. In
addition, all common areas were also tested. Mr. Panico does not know the
exact number of tests performed but estimates the number at around 250. Of
these, 13 apartments' results were marginal and the rest were negative.
Enviro Techniques — Samples were collected and analyzed by NIOSH
7400 method using Phase Contrast Microscopy. This method does not
distinguish between asbestos fibers and other airborne fibers.
