3. ANALYSIS AND RESULTS <br /> Shaw selected Asbestos TEM Laboratories, Inc. (ATEM) to perform the laboratory analysis for <br /> this project. Each sample was analyzed for asbestos by the latest approved revision of NIOSH <br /> ASBESTOS by TEM: Method 7402. The analytical results are shown below in Table 1. <br /> No amounts of asbestos were detected in sample cassettes 4 and 5 (Appendix Q. Therefore, the <br /> lowest possible reading from the analytical equipment can be assumed to be the maximum <br /> possible concentration of asbestos in the cassettes. This concentration is reported as 0.0010 <br /> Fibers per cubic centimeter of air (Fibers/cm3Air). <br /> Using fiber dimensions reported in the ATEM report, the estimated fiber volume of asbestos is <br /> 0.3125 cubic micrometers per Fiber (µm3/Fiber). With this volume and a specific gravity of 3 <br /> for asbestos (as reported in the NIOSH asbestos data sheet, Appendix D), the concentration can <br /> be converted to units of micrograms of asbestos per cubic meter of air (µgAsb/m3Air) and is <br /> reported below in Table 1 (Appendix E). Based on these results, the highest asbestos <br /> concentration detected in the sample cassettes is 0.001123 µgAsb/m3Air as shown in Table 1. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Summary of Asbestos Concentrations at Forward Landfill <br /> Sampling Date: April 4, 2008 <br /> Averageloi est est, <br /> Avera 1c�w Sample Yoinxr�e v <br /> Sam' to Locat►an gate Gc�nentration Coneentritxot� <br /> P gate(scfm ) (l iters) <br /> Later slmin <br /> c. ), I#11PS/din AidekszYir <br /> f <br /> 1 (Downwind) 2.1 0.0745 1013 0.0010 0.000936 <br /> 2(Downwind) 1.8 0.0632 860 < 0.0012 < 0.001123 <br /> 3 (Downwind) 2.0 0.0713 970 0.0011 0.001029 <br /> 4(Downwind) 2.1 0.0752 1022 < 0.0010 < 0.000936 <br /> 5 (Upwind) 1.9 0.0653 888 <0.0010 < 0.000936 <br /> Blank NA NA NA <0.0010 < 0.000936 <br /> 1. standard cubic feet per minute <br /> 3 <br />
