3.6 Sample Analysis and Management
Laboratories Utilized and Analyses Performed
Inorganic analyses, which included MMVF, alpha-quartz, calcite, gypsum, lead, total dust, pH
and total particulates not otherwise specified (NIOSH 0500) were performed by EMSL
Laboratories (EMSL), at the corporate headquarters located at 107 Haddon Avenue, Westmont,
NJ. The analyses for asbestos using PCM, PLM, and TEM were performed by EMSL
Laboratories, 307 West 38th St., New York, NY. Organic analyses were provided by Paradigm
Analytical, 2627 North Chase Parkway SE, Wilmington, NC. These analyses included PAH and
DioxinsZFurans.
’’Pump flow rates were measured before and after sample collection. Pumps were calibrated before each
use and the flow rate was confirmed following the sample period. A primary dry cell calibrator (BIOS DC-Lite)
was used to establish the flow rates of the SKC person^ sampling pumps. A GiIibrator-2 High Flow Wet Cell
Calibrator was used to establish the flow rates of the AirCon-2 high volume air samplers. Calibrating for alpha
quartz, calcite, gypsum and dioxins/fiirans also required separate flow chambers. Flow rates were recorded on Air
Sampling Data Sheets.
