Re: Report of TEM Analysis
Dear Mr. Sallemi:
Following are the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
analysis of one PCM air sample from our Group No. 5532:
Client: 99 Church Street
Project Name: 99 Church Street, NY, NY
Location: Office on SE Side
Sample received in TEM Lab: 09/20/01
These results will confirm and document the data transmitted to you
today. The analyses were performed in strict conformance with the
methodology of the NIOSH method 7402, Issue 2, August 15, 1994. •
Forty grid openings from the sample were examined at relatively low
magnifications (approximately 1,000X and 10,000X) for structures
greater than 5um in length and widths between 0.25um and 3um, and
having a length-to-width ratio greater than 3:1. These structures
would be large enough to be observed by PCM analysis.
Asbestos and non-asbestos structures were detected in the sample in
the following proportions:
sample chrysotile gypsum fiber cellulose F/CC as
glass Asbestos
04 8.2% 61.2% 23.5% 7.1% 0.0009
As a consequence, the sample does not exceed 0.01 F/CC as asbestos.
The analyses were supervised by Dr. Michael A. Gorycki, Director of
Electron Microscopy. These analyses were performed by ATC d/b/a
ATC Associates Inc. We are pleased to note that our TEM lab has
received full accreditation from NVLAP and also approval under the
NY State DOH ELAP program, as is currently required for recognized
analysis of TEM air samples for AHERA projects. Please contact me
regarding any questions relating to these materials.
Very truly yours,
Michael A. Gorycki, P .D.
