Bldg 5703 Positives Findings.pdf

These are laboratory analytical reports documenting polarized light microscopy (PLM) asbestos analysis conducted for Tinker Air Force Base (AFB) located in Midwest City, Oklahoma. The reports span multiple analyses from 2005 to 2007, with samples submitted by Mark Patterson from the 72 MDSS/SGSL unit at Tinker AFB.

The analyses were performed by three laboratories: QuantTEM Laboratories, Tec-An Inc., and Stanley Environmental/Alpha Analytical Laboratories, all using EPA Method 600/R-93/116 for asbestos identification. Samples analyzed include insulation materials, floor tiles, mastics, pipe wrappings, and other building materials collected from the Bowling Alley facility (Project B5703) at Tinker AFB. Results indicate varying asbestos content across samples, with detected asbestos types including amosite, chrysotile, and in some cases no asbestos detected. Non-asbestos components identified include glass fiber, cellulose, synthetic materials, and tar/cork compositions. All laboratories were NVLAP-accredited (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) for the specific test methods employed. The reports certify strict compliance with applicable standards and regulations, with analyses completed within 24-hour turnaround times and signed by authorized analysts and laboratory managers.
