NYC DEP’s imposition of the unsafe 1% standard is compounded by their insistence on using the insensitive PLM method to detect asbestos. As documented by analyses of the exact same dust samples by both Region 2 and NYC DEP, PLM tests will find no detectable asbestos whatsoever, while the use of the more sensitive EPA transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method can show up to 5%.^’ A news story in the Wall Street Journal documents the hazard posed by the NYC DEP’s use of their 1% dust standard and the PLM method.^*
