Mr Bernard P Orlan November 25, 2002 Wipe Samples for Dioxins Page 2 P S 124 Manhattan ATCProiectNo 15-19125-0350

Each sample was analyzed for sixteen (16) PCDD/PCDF isomers The results for each isomer were then converted to 2, 3, 7, 8 tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxm (2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD) equivalents by multiplying by an established equivalency factor. This provides a single value (m nanograms) for the analytical results for each sample A copy of the laboratory analysis report is attached The results are shown m the following table

DIOXIN WIPE SAMPLE RESULTS 2,3, 7, 8 TCDD EQUIVALENTS - Nanograms per square meter (ng/m^) September 12, 2002 LOCATION /SAMPLE ID DIOXIN CONCENTRATION

Lobby-Mam Entrance / DX-1 0 00

2nd Floor Hallway by Room 222 / 0.000035 DX-2 3rd Floor Hallway by Room 307 / 0 00 DX-3 Blank / DX-4 0.00

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) established guidelines for dioxm for the re-occupancy of the Binghamton State Office Building following a PCB fire The NYSDOH guideline for dioxm on surfaces is 25 nanograms per square meter (25 ng/m^)

The concentrations on indoor surfaces ranged from 0 00 to 0 000035 nanograms per square meter (ng/m^) The levels found m all of these samples are below the NYSDOH guideline of 25 ng/m2

It IS not possible to determine when the 2, 3, 7, 8 - TCDD equivalents detected m these samples was deposited Dioxm samples were not collected from these locations prior to these samples therefore a background sample is not available for comparison purposes

It IS our pleasure to provide these indoor environmental services to the NYC Department of Education If you have any questions about this report, please call (212) 353-8280, extension 212

Sincerely, ATC Associates, Inc.
