AIR SAMPLING AND PROJECT MONITORING DURING ASBESTOS REMOVAL
Set by New Yok City Department Of Environemntal Protection(NYC DEP) and New York State Department Of Labor(NYS DOL), All asbestos removal projects require Project Monitor/Air technician to be on site at all times during abatement
Air samples are taken prior to the disturbance of any asbestos containing materials. This establishes background levels of any asbestos fibers that might be in the air at that location. In addition to background sampling collected prior to the abatement project commencing, air samples are collected during the removal phase of the work. Quality air assurance samples are collected inside and outside of the regulated work area(s). Final air clearance sampling is performed at the conclusion of the abatement and clean up of effected area,
The number and locations of air samples are based on project size and containment procedures. In accordance with NYC DEP(Title 15) and NYS DOL Regulations (CR 56) project monitoring and air sampling requirements differ depending on the size of the abatement project. Regulations are based on Project Sizes by quantities of ACM (asbestos-containing materials).Project monitoring and air sampling requirements differ depending on the size of the abatement project. Regulations are based on Project Sizes by quantities of ACM (asbestos-containing materials).
All samples are submitted to ELAP approved laboratory,
The Project Monitor observes and inspects the contractor’s adherence to appropriate work practices according to the abatement design and applicable laws and regulations. A comprehensive daily activities log is maintained recording information relative to the project, visual inspections during and post abatement are thoroughly conducted.
AIR QUALITY TEST
If you think asbestos was disturbed with or without your knowledge, or Con Edison wont come fix your meter we offer an air quality test that will show if effected area is safe to be occupied or to be worked on, ACE offers both PCM and TEM tests.
