Samples A21115 through A21121 have been analyzed by visual estimation based on EPA-600/M4-82-020 December 1982 optical microscopy test method including phase contrast, polarized light, dispersion staining, and stereo microscopy. Accuracy increases with increasing asbestos concentration.
If these samples are related to a demolition or are subject to NESHAPS 40CFR part 61 regulations, these regulations mandate that any sample containing less than 1% asbestos must be analyzed by point count. If asbestos is reported to be between 1% and 10%, see EPA "Clarification of asbestos NESHAP requirements to perform point counting" (copy available) .
This report relates only to the items tested. This report must not be used to claim product endorsement by the NVLAP, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or any agency of the U.S. Government. The results of analysis are as follows:
Lab A2I115. Fi^ld L9~274a-i Bulk Asbestou This is 2% chrysotile asbestos and 15% amosite asbestos in gray and white plaster.
Lab A21116, Field L952744-2 Bulk Asbestos This sample contains three types of material: The first type is green paint; the second type is 20% chrysotile asbestos in black binder; the third type is 10% chrysotile asbestos and 60% rockwool in light gray binder. This sample is non-homogeneous. The overall asbestos concentration is 11%.
The first type is 1% of the sample. The second type is 9% of the sample. The third type is 90% of the sample.
