background samples in Manhattan and Brooklyn, develops consent access agreements, supports data evaluation, and write letters for sample results to owners/renters. If additional resources are needed, NYCDOH will submit directly to FEMA.
Approach to Sampling
Revisit original 4 background and new 15? buildings - and test for 7 identified chemicals of concern; dioxin, lead, PAHs, ceramic fibers, fibrous glass, asbestos, and silica.
Samples for background buildings will be at the same residences and common areas as for the first part of the study.
Collect from 3 sample locations per building (1 common area, 2 residences or commercial) in 15? new buildings.
Testing Media - air, wipes, and dust (settled dust by microvac, bulk dust if can’t do settled)
For dust samples, loading only. Is percent voliune needed?
