Re: Limited settled dust bulk sampling for fiberglass at P.S. 13 IM
Dear Mr. Orlan:
At your request, ATC Associates, Inc. representative Mr. Herant Antonyan visited P.S. 13 IM
located at 100 Hester Street, New York, NY 10002 on August 22, 2002. The purpose of the site
visit was to perform a settled dust bulk sampling to be analyzed for fiberglass fiber content on
areas indicated to ATC by the New York City Board of Education (NYC-BOE). These areas are
the following:
• 1“ Floor Lobby
• Cafeteria
• Auditorium
• Two randomly selected classrooms per floor
• Hallways- one sample per floor
The purpose of the dust bulk sampling is to determine if settled dust in the school contains
fiberglass fibers.
As per your request, a total of seventeen (17) settled dust bulk samples were collected from the
aforementioned areas and were analyzed utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).
Analytical results indicated that none of the seventeen (17) collected settled dust bulk samples
contain fiberglass fibers.
The settled dust bulk sampling performed was limited to testing for fiberglass in locations
indicated by the NYC-BOE.
