NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

Mr. Bernard P. Orlan March 1, 2002 Wipe Samples for Dioxins Page 2 P. S. 234 (Manhattan) ATC Project No. 15-19125-0279

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has set 0.0006 parts per million (ppm) as the allowable concentration of dioxin in soil. The EPA has established a residential clean-up goal of 1 part per billion (ppb).

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. The sample locations and the results are shown in the table: DIOXIN WIPE SAMPLE RESULTS (2, 3, 7, 8 TCDD EQUIVALENTS) ■ ___ 3SS _____ 1 st Floor Hallway - east end/DXl U.UUIU

1 st Floor Hallway - west end/DX2 U.(J0U45 Blank/DX3 0.00

The concentrations on indoor surfaces were 0.0012 and 0.00043 ng/m^. These levels are well below the NYSDOH guideline.

It is not possible to determine when the 2, 3, 7, 8 - TCDD equivalents detected in these samples were deposited. Dioxin wipe samples were not collected from this school prior to December 6, 2001.

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.

Sincerely, .4 TC ASSOCIA TES INC.
