WIPE SAMPLLNG RESULTS

ATC submitted three (3) wipe samples for PCDDs/PCDFs (plus one blank) to Pace for analysis A copy of the laboratory report is provided in Attachment 1 Samples were taken from areas specified by the parents association consultant The sample area was one square meter (m^) The sample locations and the areas are shown in the table as well as the results

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-dioxin (2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD) equivalents by multiplying by an established equivalency factor This provides a single value (in nanograms) for the analytical results for each sample A copy of the analytical laboratory report is attached

DIOXIN WIPE SAMPLE RESULTS (2,3, 7, 8 TCDD EQUIVALENTS) February 14, 2002

Main Lobby Floor /DXl 0.00060 5^ Floor by Elevator Floor /DX2 0.U12 10th Floor by Elevator /DX3 0 00024 Field Blank/DX9 0 00024

The concentrations on indoor surfaces ranged from 0 00024 to 0 012 nanograms per square meter (ng/m^). The levels found in 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 in these samples were deposited. Dioxin samples were not collected from these locations prior to January 2, 2002.

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