existing surfaces.
g- Common spaces will be sampled without the use offorced air devices (fans, leafblowers
etc). For small spaces, less than 160 square feet, 3 samples will be collected. For large
spaces greater than 160 square feet and less than 25,000 square feet 5 samples will be
collected. For spaces greater than 25,000 square feet, 1 sample will be collected for each
5,000 square feet. Sampling equipment shall be placed away from obstructions. The
sampling cassette must be placed on a tripod directed downward at a 45 degree angle and
not taped to existing surfaces.
h. Air samples shall be collected in accordance with the procedures specified in NIOSH
Method 7400 for PCM and 7402 forTEM. Air sampling pumps need to be monitored to
ensure pumps are not clogging by monitoring flow rates, the minimum sampling volume
required is 3600 liters.
