"The standards or tolerance levels that are being used to evaluate the environmental tests
are very conservative. For example, no outdoor air standards are available for asbestos.
Thus, early on, the agencies jointly decided to use the most conservative standard available -
- the standard that is required for re-entry into schools after asbestos removal."
’ Technical memoranda in which I documented that the 70 s/mm^ is not a health-based level, and only a
detection limit of a test method are as follows:
