Items discussed:
1. EPA Background Study
• EPA is currently working on the statement of work (SOW).
• 14 buildings will be studied; two residential units and one common area per
building.
• Several technical and logistical issues came up:
- Air sampling for dioxin and PAHs requires high volume sampling and it is
not feasible in residential spaces.
- The defensibility of microvac sampling is in question. Wipe sampling is
usually preferred.
- Agressive air sampling methods are preferred yet not practical in all areas.
- The sampling environments will not be controlled.
• Working Group members should E-mail Carol Lynes with any additional
comments or questions.
