USEPA and the NYCDOH have stated that the removal of carpet is a reasonable and proper action to eliminate concerns regarding potential contaminants in this porous material. The DEP concurs with this assessment.
According to our information, the environmental air sampling results at these schools indicated 3,impling and analysis was in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act ' AHERA) requirements. Specifically, the results indicate the clearance and re-occupancy criteria set rth in AHERA (70 s/mm^) were met.
