Re: Wipe Samples for Dioxins DeSoto School (P. S. 130 Manhattan) ATC Project No. 15-19125-0345
Dear Mr. Orlan:
ATC Associates Inc. (ATC) is pleased to provide this report of the results of the wipe-samples for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs)and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) collected on August 26, 2002, at the referenced location. The New York City Department of Education (DOE) requested these samples to evaluate possible contamination in the school building.
Scope of Work
The samples were collected using gauze pads and hexane as a solvent. The solvent was provided and samples were analyzed by Pace Analytical Services, Inc. (Pace) of Minneapolis, MN, a laboratory experienced m dioxin analysis. The analysis was performed by modified EPA Method 8290 using combined capillary column gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry.
Wagdi Abdelshahid, Industrial Hygienist of ATC’s New York City office, collected the samples consistent with generally accepted industrial hygiene practices. There were inherent limitations created by constraints of time, operational and work practice variability, variations in contaminant concentrations, and sampling and analytical accuracy. The results of the sampling represent conditions found on the date the samples were collected.
Results
ATC submitted three wipe samples for PCDDsZPCDFs (plus one blank) to Pace for analysis. Samples were taken from representative floor areas throughout the building. The sample area for each sample was one square meter (1 m2). The areas sampled were:
• Main Lobby; • 4th Floor Hall by Stair C; • 5th Floor Hall by Stair B.
