The level of 393,060 s/c n? by sonication in carpet is quite high. I have att^hed < udy that shows thai even in buildings: known to h asbestos confaiiihg materials ____ Is _____ arobnd 1000____ _ , per square centinWter, according Itructva to an authoritatlye book^ excerpts attached, y in 1980, surface dhbst Before,the WTC collapSs, in dust outdoors in New YorK City was an average of 5100 s^2 (from a study byEwIn^Uresented at the Johnson Conference In thesurnrher 2002)^

thus? ^e Iwlsybu fouhd are definitely over background and deserve attention.; ^Nobody can tell you ^ith any certainty exactly how h^ardous these ievel^ are, but EPA statutes arid poilcw-say that any expd^re to asbestos Is hazardous, and atteiwtkig to get levels to background •• is desitable.
