NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
ATC provided all laboratory analytical services in support of this limited inspection. ATC
is certified by the New York State Department of Health’s Environmental Laboratory'
Accreditation Program to perform lead and related analyses of environmental samples
(Laboratory ID Number: 10879). The laboratory utilizes the United States Environmental
Protection Agency analysis metliod number SW846-7420 and the National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health method number 7082M.
The lead-in-dust samples were obtained by gently wiping a pre-measured surface area
with non-alcohol moistened towelettes. ATC’s representative wore disposable gloves; a
new glove was worn with each new sampling procedure, and care was taken to avoid
contamination of the towelette and collection vial. Towelettes were then placed into
50ml plastic vials and immediately sealed. The chain of custody form was completed and
documents the measurement of the area sampled.
Results of Dust Wipe Sampling
Seven (7) dust wipe samples were collected from areas indicated to ATC. Laboratory
analysis is shown that all dust wipe samples collected from the indicated areas contain lead
on floor and windowsill surfaces below the guideline level of 40 pg/tf and 250 pg dr
respectively. See laboratory report and cham of custody for more details.
Limits of the limited dust wipe sampling
Dust sampling was conducted at NYC-BOE request. The results of this report are
applicable for the time the testing was performed. If questions arise concerning lead
content in or on components and/or locations not tested by ATC, then additional testing
services should be procured. ATC makes no representation or warranty concerning the
standards and specifications provided in tire HUD Guidelines and the NYC-BOE
protocol.
It is our pleasure to provide tliese limited lead services to New York City Board of
Education. If you have any questions regarding this limited lead-in-dust wipe sampling,
