an AFD. All horizontal surfaces were wet wiped.
Cleaning Results - This unit met the clearance criteria listed in Table 1.0 for each compound after
being cleaned one time.
Asbestos
Before Cleaning Samples - Two micro vacuum and five wipe samples were collected for
analysis of asbestos. These samples indicate that asbestos was present in the unit prior to
cleaning. The two micro vacuum samples detected chrysotile above the detection limit.
Three of the five wipe samples were below the detection limit, although four of the five
wipe samples detected either chrysotile or amosite.
Post J" Cleaning Samples - Three air, two micro vacuum and five wipe samples were
collected for asbestos. The samples were analyzed for PCM and PCMe. The PCM results
indicate all three air samples were below the secondaiy numeric criterion of 0.01 fZcc. The
PCMe results indicate that all three of the samples were below the primary clearance
criterion of 0.0009 S/cc.
The results of the two micro vacuum samples indicate that asbestos was present at levels
somewhat similar to those observed before cleaning.
The results of the five wipe samples indicate that asbestos was below the concentrations
observed in the pre-cleaning samples and was below the detection limit for all samples.
Dioxin
Before Cleaning Samples - Four wipe samples were collected and analyzed for dioxin.
The results indicate that dioxin was not present and that the TEQ concentration for all
samples was below the primary clearance criterion of 4 ng/m^.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples - Four post-cleaning wipe samples were collected and analyzed
for dioxin. The results indicate that there was dioxin present; however, the TEQ
concentration was below the primary clearance criterion of 4 ng/m^ and similar to pre
cleanup concentrations.
Gypsum
Before Cleaning Samples - Pre-cleaning air samples were not collected.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples - Two air samples were collected after the first cleaning.
Gypsum was not detected above the detection limit of 0.016 mg/m^ in the air samples.
Le^
Before Cleaning Samples - Two micro vacuum samples and four wipe samples were
collected. Lead was detected in both micro vacuum samples and two of the four wipe
samples at concentrations above the comparison value or primary clearance criterion of 25
pg/ft2. The micro vacuum samples exceeded the comparison value, ranging from 27.1
pg/ft2 to 49.1 pg/ft^ and the two wipe samples exceeded the primary clearance criterion,
ranging from 25.3 pg/ft^ and 32.1 p^ft^.
