Analysis of floor tile or any other resinously bound materials by polarized light microscopy (PLM) using EPA Method 600/M4-82020 December 1982 may yield false-negative results because of method limitations in separating closely bound fibers from matrix material and in detecting fibers of small length and/or diameter. When analysis of such materials by the EPA PLM Method yields negative results for the presence of asbestos we recommend utilizing alternative methods of identification such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
