Sample Analysis by:
Polarized Light Microscopy-Dispersion Staining (PLM-DS) CHRY = Chrysotile Asbeslos PAPF = Paper Fiber
AMOS = Amostte Asbestos MINW = Mineral Wool
CROC = Crocidolite Asbestos FBGL = Fiberglass
Method of Sample Preparation and Ana ACTN = Actinolite Asbestos SYNF = Synthetic Fibers
All samples were prepared and analyzed in accordance with the EPA TREM = Tremolite Asbestos CELL = Cellulose
"Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials" ANTH = Anthophylite Asbestos NFIB = Non-Fibrous
USEPA/600/R-93/116, July 1993. ORGM = Organic Material
WOLL = Wollastonite
Instrumentation: HSHR = Horse Hair
OTHR = Other

Analytical results reflect the make up of the materials only In the areas sampled. This "Summary of Analytical Results" shall not be reproduced except in full, without the writte
approval of JLC Laboratory, and B must not be used by client to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any agency of the U.S. GovemmenL This method is not applicable to
samples containing large amounts of fine fibers below the resolution of the light microscope. The value of this method Is limited to the quantitative identification of asbestos
and the semi-quantitative determination.of asbestos content of bulk samples, expressed as a percentage of the protected area. Quantitation of asbestos content was
determined with a visual volume estimate, a calibrated visual area estimate, and/or point counting procedure. CAUTION; Other fibers with optical properties similar to asbesto
may give positive interferences and will be considered asbestos under this methodology. Also, PLM is not consistently reliable in defecting asbestos in floor coverings and
similar non-friable organically-bound materials. Quanfitalive transmission electron microscopy is currently the only method that can be used to determine if this material can b
considered or treated as non-asbestos containing.
