cleaning method was used for each cleaning event.
Cleaning Results - This unit met the clearance criteria listed in Table 1.0 for each compound after
being cleaned once.
Asbestos
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning wipe samples were collected for asbestos. The
results for these samples indicate that asbestos was present in the unit prior to cleaning.
Two of the five wipe samples were below the detection limit, although one of these
samples had chrysotile detected. The remaining three samples had chrysotile detected
above the detection limit.
Post P‘ Cleaning - Three air and five wipe samples were collected. The three air samples
were analyzed using PCM and PCMe. The PCM results were all below the secondary
numeric criterion of 0.01 f/cc. The PCMe results for each sample were below the primary
clearance criterion of 0.0009 S/cc and were reported as below the detection limit.
The results for the five wipe samples that were collected indicate that asbestos was present
in two of the five samples; however one of these samples was below the detection limit.
The remaining three samples were below the detection limit.
Dioxin
Before Cleaning Samples - Four pre-cleaning wipe samples were collected and analyzed
for dioxin. The results indicate that there was dioxin 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 Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the first cleaning.
Gypsum was not detected in any sample.
Le^
Before Cleaning Samples - Four pre-cleaning wipe samples were collected. The results
indicate that lead was detected in three of the four wipe samples with two samples
exceeding the primary clearance criterion of 25 pg/ft^. One sample was slightly over the
primary clearance criterion with a result of 30 pg/ft^ while the second was twice the
primary clearance criterion with a result of 50 pg/ft^.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples and four wipe samples were collected after
the first cleaning. The two air samples were above the detection limit but below the
primary clearance criterion of 1.0 pg/m^. Three of the four wipe samples were below the
detection limit. The fourth wipe sample was above the detection limit but below the
