The ASTM raedjod is intended for guidance on examining dust contaaunation of building surfaces and is intended as a general assessment of the building. There is no suggestion in the ASTM method that it can be used to assess general, heaJdi risk from asbestos exposure, nor docs it suggest that all building surfaces be mahntained to the levels published in the standard. The method is generally applicable for the estimate, of the concentration of asbestos fibers on surfaces starting from approjdmateiy 1000 fibers per square centimeter (f/em3)

On December 3** two surface dust ^mples were taken from the 10* floor to determine whether aabeasos fibers were settled on surfaces. The results are reported in asbestos fibers per square centimeter of surface tested. The following summarizes flic sample results:

Sample C62O304 sampled in living room from table top Result- 740 asbestos souctures per square centimeter

Sample £1203"2 sampled from supply air diffuser in the 10* floor public hallway Result - 5S0.000 asl^tos structures per square centimeter

The supply air grille ia the hallway was found to have elevated levels of asbestos fitefs well above the reoommeaded limit of If500 structsoes per square oeadmetsr. This suggests that the ventfladon system was contefflJinnted by asbestos when die building collapsed.

The duct system should be eleaued by a j»ofcssiomi duct cleaning company using vacuum and deaning equipment designed Tor asbestos decoutStmiDado&.

Sincerdy,

Edward Olmsted
