Re: Wipe Samples for Dioxins Stuyvesant High School ATC Project No. 15-19125-0246 \ 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 February 22, 2002, at the referenced location. The New York City Board of Education (BOE) requested these samples to evaluate possible contamination in the school building per the recommendation of H. A. Bader, consultant to the parents association.
Scope of Work
Wagdi Abdelshahid, Industrial Hygienist of ATC’s New York City office, collected the samples.
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 in dioxin analysis. The analysis was performed by modified EPA Method 8290 using combined capillary column gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry.
The sampling was performed 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 dates the samples were collected.
Results
ATC submitted three wipe samples for PCDDs/PCDFs (plus one blank) to Pace for analysis. Samples were taken from areas specified by the parents association consultant. The sample area for each sample was one square meter (1 m2). The areas sampled were:
• 1 st floor main lobby wall; • 2nd floor bridge entrance wall; • Mixed air plenum - HVAC# 1 wall.
