Asbestos was present in all five wipe samples at lower concentrations than those observed
before cleaning. One of the five samples was identified as being below the detection limit.
Post Cleaning Samples (Test 4B) - Three air samples and five wipe samples were
collected for asbestos. The air samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA, and
PCMe. The PCM results indicate that one sample could not be analyzed due to particulate
overloading; two were above the secondary numeric criterion of 0.01 ftcc. The TEM
AHERA results indicate that two samples could not be analyzed due to particulate
overloading; one sample was above the secondary numeric criterion of0.022 S/cc. The
PCMe results indicate that two of the samples could not be analyzed due to particulate
overloading; one was above the primary clearance criterion of 0.0009 S/cc.
The results of the five wipe samples indicate that asbestos was present in all five samples
at lower concentrations than those observed before cleaning.
Post Cleaning Samples (Test 4C) - Five air samples and four micro vacuum samples
were collected for asbestos. The air samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA, and
PCMe. The PCM analysis could not be conducted due to overloading of the filter with
particulate matter. The TEM AHERA results indicate that three of the five samples could
not be analyzed due to overloading of the filters with particulate material. The remaining
two samples were below the secondary numeric criterion of0.022 S/cc. The PCMe
results indicate that three of the five air samples analyzed could not be analyzed due to
overloading of particulate matter. The remaining two PCMe results indicate that one
sample was below the primary clearance criterion and one sample exceeded the primary
clearance criterion of 0.0009 S/cc at 0.0033 S/cc.
The results of the four micro vacuum samples indicate that asbestos was present in all five
samples at lower concentrations than those observed before cleaning, but at similar
concentrations to those after Test 4A cleaning.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples (Test 4D) - Three air samples were collected for asbestos. The
samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA, and PCMe. The PCM results indicate
that all three samples were below the secondary numeric criterion of 0.01 fi^cc. The TEM
AHERA results indicate that all three samples were below the detection limit and below
the secondary numeric criterion of 0.022 S/cc. The PCMe results were all below the
detection limit and were below the primary clearance criterion of 0.0009 S/cc.
Dioxin
Before Cleaning Samples - One air sample and four 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 (Test 4A) - Four wipe samples were collected and analyzed for
dioxin. The TEQ concentration for each sample was below the primary clearance criterion
of 4 ng/m^.
Post P‘ Cleaning Samples (Test 4B) - Four wipe samples were collected and analyzed for
