Dear Mr. Anderson :

Samples 2TAD21 through 2TAD23 have been analyzed by visual estimation based on EPA-

600/M4-82-020 December 1982 optical microscopy test method, with guidance from the

EPA/600/R-93/116 July 1993 and OSHA ID 191 methods. Appendix "A" contains statements which an accredited laboratory must make to meet the requirements of accrediting agencies. It also contains additional information about the method of analysis. Appendix "A" must be included as an essential part of this test report. This analysis is accredited under NVLAP Lab Code: 101012-0.

It does not contain data or calibrations for tests performed under the AIHA program under lab code

101579.

This report may be reproduced but all reproduction must be in full unless written approval is received from the laboratory for partial reproduction. The results of analysis are as follows:

Lab 2TAD21, Field H #1 Pipe Insulation

This sample contains four types of material: The first type is metallic foil; the second type is cross-woven fiberglass in clear resin; the third type is brown plant fiber paper; the fourth type is 95% glasswool in yellow resin. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 2% of the sample. The second type is 1% of the sample. The third type is 95% of the sample. The fourth type is 2% of the sample.

Lab 2TAD22, Field H #2 Pipe Insulation

This sample contains four types of material: The first type is metallic foil; the second type is cross-woven fiberglass in clear resin; the third type is brown plant fiber paper; the fourth type is 95% glasswool in yellow resin. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 2% of the sample. The second type is 1% of the sample. The third type is 2% of the sample. The fourth type is 95% of the sample.

Batch # 179295

Lab # 2TAD21 - 2TAD23

Lab 2TAD23, Field H #3 Pipe Insulation

This sample contains four types of material: The first type is metallic foil; the second type is cross-woven fiberglass in clear resin; the third type is brown plant fiber paper; the fourth type is 95% glasswool in yellow resin. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 2% of the sample. The second type is 1% of the sample. The third type is 2% of the sample. The fourth type is 95% of the sample.

In order to be sure reagents and tools used for analysis are not contaminated with asbestos, blanks are tested. Asbestos was none detected in the blanks tested with this bulk sample set.

Very truly yours, Steve H. Dixon, President

APPENDIX "A"

"This report relates only to the items tested. This report must not be used to claim product certification, approval or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, AIHA-LAP LLC, or any agency of the

US government."

NVLAP and AIHA-LAP LLC require laboratories to state the condition of the samples received for testing. The condition of these samples is acceptable for analysis unless there is a characteristic indicating otherwise. If a test item is not acceptable, requires a modification to the standard method, or has cause for analysis sensitivity, it will be identified by a note for that particular test item under the laboratory number on the final report. If the samples are non homogenous, a statement will be included with the sample result. Each component or sub-sample is analyzed separately. The reported results and percentages of each material type are based on the sample received by the laboratory and may not be representative of the parent material.

Orientation of top and bottom may not be specified due to uncertainty of orientation.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND LIMIT OF DETECTION

For air count analysis, the results may be biased when interferences are noted.

The accuracy of asbestos analysis in bulk samples increases with increasing concentration of asbestos. Pigments, binders, small sample size, and multiple layers may affect the analysis sensitivity.

There are two methods for analysis of asbestos in a bulk test sample: Visual Estimation and Point Count. Visual estimation with gravimetry is the most sensitive method. If an analyst makes a patient search, 0.1% or less asbestos can be detected in a bulk sample. Point count analysis is a method with a statistical approach.

Government agencies regulate asbestos containing materials (ACM) whenever the ACM is more than 1%. EPA will not accept visual estimation to verify that trace amounts of asbestos are less than 1%. EPA requires point count to verify less than 1% asbestos content. OSHA requirements apply on samples containing any amount of asbestos.

Due to higher charge for a point count analysis, Dixon Information Inc. does not perform a point count unless authorized to do so by the customer. If a sample is point counted, when possible, various chemical and/or physical means may be used to concentrate the asbestos in the sample. This is permitted by the EPA method and it increases the accuracy of the analysis.
