wipe samples indicate that asbestos was present in three of the five samples. Two of the
three samples in which asbestos was detected were below the detection limit.
Diojdn
Before Cleaning Samples - Three pre-cleaning wipe samples were collected and analyzed
for dioxin. The results indicate that dioxin was present; however, the TEQ concentration
for each sample was below the primary clearance criterion of 4 ng/m^.
Post Cleaning Samples - Four post-cleaning wipe samples were collected and analyzed
for dioxin. The results indicate that the TEQ concentration for each sample was below the
primary clearance criterion of 4 ng/m^.
Gypsum
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning air samples were not collected.
Post f‘ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the first cleaning.
Gypsum was not detected in either sample.
Lead
Before Cleaning Samples - Three micro vacuum samples and three wipe samples were
collected. Lead was detected in one of the three micro vacuum samples at a concentration
below the comparison value of 25 pg/ft^. Two of the three wipe samples had detectable
concentrations of lead; one sample was above the primary clearance criterion of 25 pg/ft^.
The third sample was below the detection limit.
Post Cleaning Samples - Two air samples, four micro vacuum samples and four wipe
samples were collected after the first cleaning. The two air samples were below the
primary clearance criterion. The four micro vacuum samples and one of the four wipe
samples, were below the detection limit. Three of the four wipe samples were above the
detection limit, but below the primary clearance criterion of 25 pg/ft^. The results fi-om
the first cleaning indicate that the cleaning technique was effective in removing the
elevated concentrations of lead that were observed prior to the first cleaning.
Post 2ncl Cleaning Sampling - Because the cleaning was conducted prior to the
establishment of a risk-based cleanup level for lead in air, this unit was re-cleaned in an
effort to meet the established primary clearance criterion. Sampling results following the
second cleaning indicate levels below the primary clearance criterion.
Alpha-Quartz
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning air samples were not collected.
Post Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the first cleaning. All of
the samples were below the detection limit.
Calcite
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning air samples were not collected.
