II. Scope of Work The assessment was conducted on March 26, 2019 at the request of Roland Hartz, representing Hanscom AFB. Samples were collected from in Building 1543 from the sheetrock, sound proof wall panels, and the ceiling tiles. The object of the assessment was to establish the presence of asbestos containing material prior to renovations. A representative amount of samples were collected from each homogenous material. No joint compound was observed on the sheetrock.

Jason Muchmore (MA asbestos inspector#AI900596) of Absolute Resource Associates conducted the inspection.

The building assessment was conducted to establish the following:

● Assess the potential for Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) in the building.

● Physically inspect building materials, sample and analyze materials.

● Collect environmental samples and analyze via Polarized Light Microscopy to determine if the material has ACM.

● Throughout the process, consult other qualified professionals if necessary or desired, III. Findings for B1543 Asbestos containing material (ACM) is material containing >1% asbestos.

The condition of ACM is categorized as Good, Fair, or Poor. The type of ACM is categorized as Surfacing (Surf.), Miscellaneous (Misc.), and Thermal System Insulation (TSI). The ACM is also determined to be either friable or non-friable.

No asbestos was detected from the sampled materials.

A. Materials sampled and tested for ACM:

• Three samples of each material were collected. A total of 9 samples were collected from the following materials:

V. Limits of Liability The IAQ assessment does not cover concealed areas or items not inspected. The extent of the limited area also depends on the building construction and conditions, weather, building usage and other factors. Areas that were inaccessible during the investigation were not inspected. Due to the nature of the investigation and the limited data available, Absolute Resource Associates cannot warrant against undiscovered environmental liabilities.

Asbestos Identification Laboratory

Dear Jason Muchmore, Thank you Jason Muchmore for your business.

Michael Manning Owner/Director

Asbestos Identification Laboratory has completed the analysis of the samples from your office for the above referenced project .

The information and analysis contained in this report have been generated using the EPA /600/R-93/116 Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials. Materials or products that contain more than 1% of any kind or combination of asbestos are considered an asbestos containing building material as determined by the EPA. This Polarized Light Microscope (PLM) technique may be performed either by visual estimation or point counting. Point counting provides a determination of the area percentage of asbestos in a sample. If the asbestos is estimated to be less than 10% by visual estimation of friable material, the determination may be repeated using the point counting technique. The results of the point counting supersede visual PLM results. Results in this report only relate to the items tested. This report may not be used by the customer to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any other U.S. Government Agency.

Laboratory results represent the analysis of samples as submitted by the customer. Information regarding sample location, description, area, volume, etc., was provided by the customer. Asbestos Identification Laboratory is not responsible for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations. Unless notified in writing to return samples, Asbestos Identification Laboratory discards customer samples after 30 days. Samples containing subsamples or layers will be analyzed separately when applicable. Reports are kept at Asbestos Identification Laboratory for three years. This report shall not be reproduced, except in full, without the written consent of Asbestos Identification Laboratory.
