Mr. Bernard P. Orlan February 25, 2002 Wipe Samples for Dioxins Page 2 Stuyvesant High School (Manhattan! ATCProiectNoJ,5Jil25:02^
Each sample was analyzed for sixteen (16) PCDD 'PCDl isomers. The results for each isomer were then converted to 2, 3, 7, 8 tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin (2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD) equivalents by multiplying by an established equivalency factor. This provides a single value (in nanograms) for the analytical results for each sample. Copies of the draft analysis reports are attached. The results of the samples are shown in the following table.
DIOXIN WIPE SAMPLE RESULTS 2, 3, 7, 8 TCDD EQUIVALENTS - Nanograms per square meter (ng/m^)
1^^ Floor Lobby Main Entrance 0.000022 2^ Floor Lobby Bridge Entrance 0.000039 HVAC#2 Mixed Air Plenum 0.00057
Field Blank 0.00
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) established guidelines for dioxin for the re-occupancy of the Binghamton State Office Building following a PCB fire. The NYSDOH guideline for dioxin on surfaces is 25 nanograms per square meter (25 ng/m^). The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has set 0.0006 parts per million (ppm) as the allowable concentration of dioxin in soil. The EPA has established a residential clean-up goal of 1 part per billion (ppb).
The levels found in these samples are below the NYSDOH guideline of 25 ng/m^.
It is not possible to determine when the 2, 3, 7, 8 - TCDD equivalents detected in these samples were deposited. Dioxin samples were not collected from these locations prior to November 8, 2001, and therefore a background sample is not available for comparison purposes.
It is our pleasure to provide these indoor environmental services to the NYC Board of Education. If you have any questions about this report, please call (212) 353-8280, extension 212.
Sincerely, ATC ASSOCIATES,
James R. Cohn, CIH, CSP Regional Manager Industrial Hygiene Division
