NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

• Dust Samples were collected from the following floors: Roof (west side), 21w, 22ad, 20th, 19th, 18th, 17th, 15th, 13th, 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, gth, 7th, 6th. 5th, 4th, 3rs, 2'

and C-Level (Concourse). Samples were collected from dust/debris from the locations. A total of twenty-three (23) dust samples were collected.

All samples collected were transported to an independent certified laboratory, EMSL Analytical, for analysis. Samples were analyzed utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) Methodology via the NY State ELAP 198.1 method. Some dust sample results tested positive for presence of asbestos. Please see Section V for locations and

results.

All surfaces such asbut not limited to the air-handling units, passenger/freight elevators, main lobby, secondary lobbies, staircases and occupied floors were wet wiped and HEPA vacuumed by a licensed asbestos contractor. All air filters within the said fan units were removed and disposed of as asbestos waste. This project was filed with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection as an emergency clean up. Please see section VIII for stamped copy and filings.

In addition to the above, CTSI performed Dust Particulate testing from various areas of the building. Dust Particulates were collected utilizing a Nephelornetric Laser Scatter Total Dust Measure method. This method utilizes the diffraction of laser beams to evaluate the density of dust in the beam path. It is sensitive to as little as one tenth of one microgram of dust per cubic meter of air (0.1 UG/M3). The test results were acceptable and within the established OSHA standards. Please see Section VII for locations and results.

Due to the outside air conditions with elevated dust levels and fumes from the World Trade • Center clean up process, CTSI recommends that the outside fresh air louvers be kept closed and opened only when outside air has been checked by building engineering staff to be odor
