Gypsum was not detected in any sample.
Lead
Before Cleaning Samples - Three micro vacuum samples and three wipe samples were
collected. The results indicate that all three of the micro vacuum samples were below the
comparison value of 25 pg/ft^ and below the detection limit. The three wipe samples
contained detectable concentrations of lead; however, all of the concentrations were below
the primary clearance criterion of 25 pg/ft^.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples, three micro vacuum samples and four wipe
samples were collected after the first cleaning. The two air samples were below the
primary clearance criterion of 1.0 pg/m^ Two of the three micro vacuum samples were
below the detection limit. The third micro vacuum sample was slightly above the
detection limit, but below the comparison value. Three of the four wipe samples were
below the detection limit. The fourth sample was above the detection limit but below the
primary clearance criterion. Since the primary clearance criterion was met for lead after
the first cleaning, no additional samples were collected for analysis of lead.
Alpha-Quartz
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning air samples were not collected.
Post Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the first cleaning. One
of the two air samples detected alpha-quartz at a concentration above the detection limit,
at 0.008 mg/m^. The detection also was above the primary clearance criterion of 0.004
mg/m’. The other air sample was below the detection limit. Since one air sample
exceeded the primary clearance criterion, additional air samples for alpha-quartz were
collected.
Post 2^ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the second cleaning.
The results showed that both samples were below the detection limit. This indicates that
the second cleaning was able to reduce the alpha-quartz concentration in air to below the
detection limit.
Calcite
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.
Post 2^ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the second cleaning.
The results indicate that both samples were below the detection limit.
Cristobalite
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.
