About this file

This asbestos survey report documents testing conducted on samples from the roof of Building 26 at the National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Arkansas. Laboratory analysis using polarized light microscopy found no detectable asbestos in the samples from the main roof. The survey was completed on July 19, 2023 by an inspector licensed in Arkansas.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Office of Acquisition and Grant Services for the renovation and roof replacement of Buildings 26 and 50 at the National Center for Toxicological Research site. No further details on required products or services, pricing terms, or response dates are provided in the opportunity description.

RE:

Mr.

On samples were collected for laboratory analysis.

Location

Federal and state regulations with the exception of OSHA, determine a material to be asbestos containing if it contains 1% or more asbestos.

Laboratory analysis of these samples have determined the following:

NCTR Building 26

3900 NCTR Rd

Jefferson, AR 72079

June 26, 2023 I received these samples from the above referenced location to determine if asbestos was present.

Description

John Greer

No Asbestos Detected

For further clarification of the Arkansas asbestos regulation 21. You may contact the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)

I have attached my chain of custody and laboratory findings. Please contact me with any Questions you may have.

Summary of polarized light microscopy (PLM / Stereomicroscopy bulk asbestos analysis) using the methods described in 40CFR Part 763

Appendix E to Subpart E (Interim and EPA 600 / R-93 / 116 (Improved). The sample is first viewed with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Numerous liquid slide preparations are created for analysis under the polarized microscope where identifications and quantifications are preformed. Calibrated liquid refractive oils are used as liquid mouting medium. These oils are used for identification (dispersion staining). A calibrated visual estimation is reported, should any asbestiform mineral be present. Other techniques such as acid washing are used in conjugation with refractive oils for detection of smaller quantities of asbestos. All asbestos percentages are based on calibrated visual estimation traceable to NIST standards for regulated asbestos. Traceability to measurement and calibration is achieved by using known amounts and types of asbestos from standards where analyst and laboratory accuracy are measured. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while detection in unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 0.50% (well above the laboratory definition of trace).

Vermiculite containing samples may contain trace amounts of actinolite/tremolite. When not detected by PLM, these samples should be analyzed using TEM methods and / or water separation techniques. Suspected actinolite/vermiculite presence will be indicated through the sample comment section of this report.

Fibrous talc containing samples may contain a regulated asbestos fiber known as anthophyllite. Under certain conditions the same fiber may actually contain both talc and anthophyllite (a phenomenon called intergrowth). Again, TEM detection methods are recommended. CA Labs PLM report comments will denote suspected amounts of asbestiform anthophyllite with talc, where further analysis is recommended.

Some samples (floor tiles, surfacings, etc.) may contain fibers too small to be detectable by PLM analysis and should be analyzed by TEM bulk protocols.

A "trace asbestos" will be reported if the analyst observes far less than 1% asbestos. CA Labs defines "trace asbestos" as a few fibers detected by the analyst in several preparations and will indicate as such under these circumstances.

Since allowable variation in quantification of samples close to 1% is high, <1% may be reported. Such results are ideal for point counting, and the technique is mandatory for friable samples (NESHAP, Nov. 1990 and clarification letter 8 May 1991) under 1% percent asbestos or "trace asbestos".

In order to make all initial PLM reports issued from CA Labs NESHAP compliant, all <1% asbestos results (except floor tiles) will be point counted at no additional charge.

CA Labs is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected test methods for airborne fiber analysis (TEM), and for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM). CA Labs is also accredited by AIHA LAP, LLC. in the PLM asbestos field of testing for Industrial Hygiene. All analysts have completed college courses or hold a degree in a natural science (geology, biology, or environmental science). Recognition by a state professional board in one these disciplines is preferred, but not required. Extensive in-house training programs are used to augment the educational background of the analyst. The Laboratory Director and Quality Manager have received supplemental McCrone Research training for asbestos identification.
