* The measurements made during this assessment were instantaneous readings, the NPAAQS is a 24-hour average,

TVOCCon^ntrations

TVOCs were not detected anywfoere inside the building (0.0 ppm). The outdoor TVOC concentration was also 0.0 ppm.

OBSERVATIONS

During this assessment, ATC noted the following: • The school building was occupied at the time of the assessment. • No smoke odor was detected in the building • The interior of the building appeared clean and free of dust and debris.

FINDINGS

Based on the real-time measurements, the following findings are presented:

1. Concentrations of COp, CO, and TVOCs were below applicable standards and guidelines. 2. All of the indoor measurements for temperature were below the range of 73 to 79°F (at 50 percent relative humidity) as recommended by the ASHRAE Standard 55-1992 during the summer season . 3. Thirty-nine (39) of the indoor measurements for relative humidity' were below the ASHRAE- recommended range of 30 to 60 percent for occupant comfort. 4. All of the indoor measurements were below the NPAAQS of 65 pg/m^ 24-hour average concentration of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or less in aerodynamic diameter and the USEPA recommended concentration of 40 pg/m^ for sensitive individuals and children. Both outdoor readings were above the USEPA recommended concentration of 40 pg/m3 for sensitive individuals and children.

It is our pleasure to provide these indoor air quality services to the New York City Board of Education. If you have any questions about this report, please call (212) 353-8280, extension 211 or 212.
