Dear Roy:
The three bulk samples we collected from 65 Franklin Avenue, Niagra Falls, New York, in the Medical Department, have been analyzed for asbestos. The analytical techniques used were x-ray diffraction and dispersion staining optical microscopy. Results are as follows:
Ceiling Tile
No asbestos present. X-ray diffraction showed the possibility that this sample contained chrysotile asbestos. Dispersion staining optical microscopy revealed that this sample contained birefringent organic material, non birefringent fibrous material and birefringent clumps, cone of which had the optical or morphological characteristics of chrysotile. The most probable component of this sample is chlorite
eo
which has major x-ray peaks at 7.19A and 3.58A that interfere with
OO
both the primary (7.33A) and secondary (3.66A) peaks for chrysotile.
Clerical Area - Flaking From Wall
No asbestos present. The major chrystalline components of this sample as determined by x-ray diffraction are Calcite and Dolomite.
