WTC Indoor Air/Environments Monitoring - Sampling and Analytical Procedures For Background and Pilot Clean up Studies

Analytical Media Sampling Points Sampling Method Proposed Description Analytical Method Proposed Parameters

This is. a micro vacuuming method. Three co-located samples will Settled Dust Carpets, fabric furniture or Asbestos ASTM D 5755-95 ASTM D 5755-95 be collected from each location. Porous Soft drapery in areas of activity surfaces (living rooms, family rooms) This is a micro vacuuming method. Three co-located samples will Lead ASTM E 1973-99 SW-846 6010B be collected from each location.
