RE: Stuyvesant High School Air Sampling Results
Two ambient air samples for asbestos were collected between the hours of 4 PM
and 12 PM on 10/13/01 outside Stuyvesant High School. The samples were analyzed
using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which provides results that are specific
for the presence of asbestos fibers. Using this method, the EPA guideline for acceptable
concentrations is 70 structures per square miUimeter (s/mm^). The results obtained for
this round of sanpling were as follows:
LOCATION ________________________ Airborne Concentration (s/mmj
Pier 25/ Outside north exit of school_______ ND <16.67 ________
Pier 25/Noithwest of Stuyvesant High School ND <16.67
ND = not detected
The laboratory chain of custody sheet(s) are attached.
Please contact Robert Adams if there are any questions.
