Post P* Cleaning - Five air samples were collected from the first floor and one air sample
was collected from the basement. The samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA,
and PCMe. The PCM, TEM AHERA and PCMe analyses of the five samples collected
from the first floor could not be conducted due to overloading of particulate material. The
sample collected from the basement met the primary clearance criterion and secondary
numeric criterion.
Post 2”^ Cleaning - Seven air samples were collected after the second cleaning. The
samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA, and PCMe. The PCM results were all
below the secondary numeric criterion of 0.01 free. Five of the samples were below the
detection limit. The TEM AHERA results were all below the secondary numeric criterion
of 0.022 S/cc, with six of the seven samples below the detection limit. The PCMe results
were all below the primary clearance criterion of 0.0009 S/cc, with six of the seven
samples below the detection limit. The seventh sample was at the detection limit of
0.0005 S/cc. This indicates that the cleaning techniques were effective at removing
particulate matter after the first cleaning, which allowed valid asbestos air samples to be
collected. The results indicate that the unit met the primary clearance and secondary
numeric criteria.
HVAC System - Four air samples and two wipe samples were collected after the HVAC
system was cleaned. The air samples were analyzed for PCM, TEM AHERA, and PCMe.
The PCM results were all below the secondary numeric criterion of 0.01 free. The TEM
AHERA results indicate that two samples were below the detection limit and that two
samples were equal to the detection limit of 0.0005 S/cc. The PCMe results indicate that
all four samples were below the detection limit of 0.0005 S/cc.
The results for the two asbestos wipe samples indicate that both samples were below the
detection limit. The detection limit (12,100 S/cm^) was higher than the detection limit
(approximately 3,000 S/cm^) for most other wipe samples on this project.
