CHEMTSX Environmental Laboratory Inc., received SEVENTEEN 25-mm
Filter Cassettes from J & D Enterprises, to be analyzed for fiber
concentrations. The samples were received on January 12, 1989 and
analyzed on January 19, 1989 in accordanqe with NIOSH Analytical
Method No. 7400/Rule A.
1
A pie-shaped portion of each MCE filter was cleared with 1:1 Dimetnyl phthalate-Diethyl oxalate mixture and examined by Phase Contrast Microscope at a magnification of 400X. Upon examination, the length and width of asbestos fibers were measured by using a Waiten-Beckett G22 graticule. Any fibers less than five microns
in length are not considered to be asbestos. Any particulates with a length greater than five microns and a length to diameter ratio of 3 to 1 or greater are considered to be asbestos fibers.
Quality assurance practices employed include graticule calibration, recounts. Blanks, Inter laboratory counting,
participating in Proficiency Evaluation Testing Program with NIOSH (NIOSH PAT/LAB # 77642-001).

Report Datet 11/21/88
CHEMTBX Environmental Laboratory Zno., received ELEVEN 25-mm Filter Cassettes from J ( D Enterprises, to be analysed for fiber concentrations. The samples ware received on November 17, 1988 and analysed on November 18, 1988 in accordance with NIOSH Analytical Method Mo. 7400/Rule A.
A pie-shaped portion of each MCE filter was cleared with 111 Dimethyl phthalate-Diethyl oxalate mixture and examined by Phase Contrast Microscope at a magnification of 400Z. Upon examination, the length and width of asbestos ,,fibers were measured by using a Walton-Beckett Q22 graticule. Any fibers less than five miarons in length are not considered to be asbestos. Any partiaulates with a length greater than five microns and a length to diameter ratio of 3 to 1 or greater are considered to be asbestos fibers.
Quality assurance practices employed include graticule calibration, recounts. Blanks, Inter laboratory counting, participating in Proficiency Evaluation Testing Program with NIOSH (NIOSH PAT/LAB # 77642-001).

Report Date: 2/24/89
CHEMTEX Environmental Laboratory Inc. received SEVENTEEN
Fulk samples from J & D Enterprises, for the analysis and
identification of .Asbestos. The samples were received on
ebuary 23, 1989, and analyzed on Febuary 23, 1989, by
Polarized Light Microscopy.
J
The Bulk Samples '*Were first examined for homogeneity and
composition with tie aid of a Simple Microscope. The visual estimation if relative concentration of Asbestos vtas made by examining the bulk samples under a Simple microscope. Later few fibers were separated from the bulk samples, and obser7ed under a Polarized Light Microscope for several characteristics including: (1) Morphology, (2) Extinction Characteristics, (3) Extinction Angle, f4) Sign of Elongation, <5) Birefringence and (6) Dispersion staining colors., stc. '
Cuality Assurance practices employed include examination of multiple slides of each sample, comparison of sample
slides to Standards, Interlaboratory Identification and participating in Asbestos Bulk Sample Analysis Quality
Assurance Program with Environmental Protection Agency 'SPA accreditation 6510: National Bureau of Standards I.' /LAP #1337 \ .
