Dear Mr. Orlan

ATC Associates, Inc. (ATC) is pleased to provide this letter report of air sampling for mercury vapor collected on January 14,2002, at the referenced school The New York City Board of Education (BOE) requested these samples to evaluate possible contammation in the school building.

ATC collected nine (9) samples for mercury vapor. Samples were collected for a minimum of ten (10) hours Seven (7) samples were collected inside the building and two (2) were collected outdoors One blank sample was also submitted. The samples were sent to PSC Analytical Services, Inc , an American Industrial Hygiene Association-accredited laboratory in Reading, PA A copy of the analytical report is provided in the attachment.

Samples for mercury vapor were collected using Carulite® (Hydrar) tubes connected to batteiy- powered sampling pumps calibrated to collect 0.2 liters of air per minute Analysis was performed by means of a mercury analyzer according to NIOSH Method 6009

The locations of the samples were. Roof by air intake; Outdoors by the Mam Entrance, Mam lobby; 3"^ floor by Stair B; 5**' floor Stair A; 7* floor hallway by the bridge; Kitchen 8* floor. Room 906, Room 1006.

The established regulatory value for mercury is intended for industrial workplace exposures and IS not generally applicable to office/school settings. There are no standards for mercury in indoor air in non-mdustnal situations.

SAMPLE RESULTS

The outdoor sample fi-om the Main Entrance (#Hgl) contained 0.0450 micrograms (ug) of Hg which equals an airborne concentration of 0.000375 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m’) The blank contained 0.037 ug of Hg. The blank-corrected Hg concentration in Sample #Hgl is 0.00007 mg/m\
