KEY:
np = sample volume not provided on data sheets.
na= not analyzed for this metric.
NOTES:
[1] = sample volume for TEM (AHERA method) is 1200 liters for 25 mm filter
[2] = fibers per millimeter squared
[3] = structures equal to or greater than 0.5 micrometers and less than or equal to 5 micrometers In length
[4] = structures greater than 5 micrometers in length
General Services Administration Monitoring of Federal Buildings
From September 13,2001, through January 2,2002, the General Services Administration, which
is responsible for Federal building management, arranged for indoor environmental testing at
Federal buildings located at 290 Broadway, 26 Federal Plaza, 201 Varick Street, and 1 Bowling
Green. Over 100 air samples were analyzed and all samples were below the AHERA standard of
70 s/mm2. All but four air samples analyzed by TEM were non-detect for asbestos. The four
samples that detected asbestos all occurred between September 13 and September 19,2001. Two
samples showed 25 s/mm2 and two samples could not be analyzed because the filters were
overloaded. The only testing for asbestos in dust was conducted on September 14,2001. Three
dust samples collected in the lobby of 290 Broadway and two collected outside the building on
September 13, 2001, showed the presence of chrysotile asbestos by TEM analysis. The results
for these tests only reported whether asbestos was present or not, not the percentage of asbestos
in the sample. Table K-5 through K-7 provide more information on the results of indoor testing
of Federal buildings.
