ASBESTOS TEM LABORATORIES, INC

Enclosed please find the bulk material analytical results for one or more samples submitted for asbestos analysis.

The analyses were performed in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116 or 600/M4-82-020 for the determination of asbestos in bulk building materials by polarized light microscopy (PLM). Please note that while PLM analysis is commonly performed on non-friable and fine grained materials such as floor tiles and dust, the EPA method recognizes that PLM is subject to limitations. In these situations, accurate results may only be obtainable through the use of more sophisticated and accurate techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Prior to analysis, samples are logged-in and all data pertinent to the sample recorded. The samples are checked for damage or disruption of any chain-of-custody seals. A unique laboratory ID number is assigned to each sample. A hard copy log-in sheet containing all pertinent information concerning the sample is generated. This and all other relevant paper work are kept with the sample throughout the analytical procedures to assure proper analysis.

Each sample is opened in a class 100 HEPA negative air hood. A representative sampling of the material is selected and placed onto a glass microscope slide containing a drop of refractive index oil. The glass slide is placed under a polarizing light microscope where standard mineralogical techniques are used to analyze and quantify the various materials present, including asbestos. The data is then compiled into standard report format and subjected to a thorough quality assurance check before the information is released to the client.

Please note all samples will be held for 3 months from the date of receipt unless otherwise requested by client.

Sincerely Yours, Laboratory Analyst
