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 Februaiy 14, 2002, at the referenced location The New York City Board of Education (BOE) requested these samples to evaluate possible contamination m the school building

SCOPE OF WORK

Wagdi Abdelshahid, Industrial Hygienist of ATC’s New York City office, collected the samples on all three days

The samples were collected using gauze pads and hexane as a solvent The pads and solvent were 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.

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