Sampling and Analytical Procedures for Lead, PAlts, Dioxin, Fibrous Glass, Silica, and Mercury
1 . Sam pling for lead, PAN-is, dioxin, fibrous glass, crystalline silica and mercury shall be performed by
the wipe sampling technician. A completed chain of custody must accompany all samples. A
unique sample number shall be assigned to each sample. A complete written description and/or
diagram shall clearly identify each sampling location.
2. Post cleaning air samples for fibrous glass and silica shall be collected concurrently with the
asbestos clearance air sampling procedures specified herein. Five samples for fibrous glass and one
sample for silica shall be collected in each apartment.
3. Wipe samples shall be collected before and alter cleaning for lead, mercury, dioxin, and PAHs.
Prior to the cleaning activities, three wipe samples shall be collected for each of these parameters in
each apartment. The sampling locations shall be a wall, a bare floor, and a counter or tabletop.
Ajier cleaning activities, three wipe samples shall be collected for each of these parameters in each
apartment. The sampling locations shall be a wall, a bare floor, and a counter or tabletop; preferably
at the same location as the pre-cleaning samples.
4. The required sampling and analytical procedures are specified in Table I .

Asbestos Air Sauuule Collection and Analysis
1. All asbestos air samples collected during clean-up activities shall be analyzed via TEM. The method
of analysis and sampling methodologies shall be in accordance with the applicable sections of Title
15, Chapter 1 o( the Rules of the City of New York. and AHERA.
2. A turnaround tir►►e ul'24 hours is required Cur all san►ples. Failure to du so will result in nonpayment.
3. Asbestos clearance air samples shall be analyzed in accordance with the NIOSH 7400 Method, and
analyzed by PCM followed by TEEM The laboratory shall report a PCMe value of all fibers greater
than 5 microns in length. Therefore, the lab shall report PCM, TEM and PCMc values for each
sample
