In the school music room, carpet tested by the ASTM microvacuum method showed over 460,000 s/cm^, and the dust on the top of a fire alarm was over 3 million s/cm^. However, only 1 out of 6 AHERA aggressive air tests using a leaf blower found any levels over 70 s/mm^. Only 3 out of 6 air samples taken in the music room at the same time showed any asbestos at all; the other three were non-detectable for asbestos.
