Lead (HVAC)
Before Cleaning Samples - One wipe sample was collected. Lead was detected at a
concentration above the primary clearance criterion of 25 pg/ft^ with a value of 10700
Post Cleaning Samples - Four air samples were collected. All four samples were
below the primary clearance criterion of 1.0 pg/m’. One of these samples was collected
from the basement.
HVAC System - Three air samples and two wipe samples were collected after the HVAC
system was cleaned. The air sample results indicate that all three air samples were below
the detection limit. The two wipe sample results indicated that lead was still present at
25.9 pg/ft^ and 166 pg/ft\ Both of these results were above the primary clearance
criterion. Post cleaning lead exceedances were attributed to the composition of the
HVAC construction material.
