Subject: Environmental Testing (December 26th and January 11t1) Borough of Manhattan Community College Trailers, North Building & South Building 199 Chambers Street, New York, NY PSI Project Number. 622-1A139
Dear Mr. Miller:
At the request of the Dormitory Authority State of New York, Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) has been directed to perform periodic environmental testing at the Borough of Manhattan Community College's, South Building, North Building and the temporary Trailers located at the West Side Highway adjacent to a staging area for WTC structural steel removal. This report covers the results of testing performed on December 26th, 2001 and January 11th, 2002.
Monitoring performed on 12/26/01 and 01/11/02 included testing for Airborne Asbestos, Airborne Silica, Respirable Dust, Total Dust and total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
Testing results follow.
Monitoring Asbestos in Air PSI collected 12 representative air samples from alternate floors from within the North and South Buildings on December 26th, 2001. Samples were collected and analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 763 Final Rule (AHERA). AHERA regulations establish the post abatement air clearance criteria for asbestos abatement projects performed within schools (Grades K-12). The AHERA post asbestos abatement clearance criteria is defined as an airborne asbestos fiber concentration less than 70 structures per millimeter squared (<70 s/mm2). The samples collected are not intended to be post abatement clearance samples, and the results have been compared to the established AHERA criteria for the purposes of referencing an established regulatory limit.
Laboratory analysis detected no asbestos fibers present in the samples collected. Analytical results are shown below in Table 1.
