Inspection for Asbestos Containing Materials at
Dear Mr. Livesey:
Inspection Summary:
Asbestos Inspector:Samantha Lopez
License #:AI900988
Date of Inspection:
Total Materials Sampled:3
Samples Analyzed At:
NIST/NVLAP Certification#:200919-0
MassDLS Lab Certification#:AA000208
FLI Environmental, Inc. performed an inspection for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) at the
property located at the address noted above. This report outlines the initial visual survey, sample
collection and summary of analytical results provided by FLI.
Asbestos Identification Laboratory, Inc.
Scope and Approach:
FLI provided a state licensed and EPA AHERA accredited asbestos inspector to perform an
inspection of the subject area(s). The purpose of the inspection was to identify and sample
building materials suspected to contain asbestos. Suspect materials include thermal system
insulation, fireproofing, soundproofing, plasters, skimcoating, spray-applied or trowel applied
finishes, ceiling & floor tiles, sheet flooring, caulking, glazing, mastics, adhesives, cement board
products, roofing materials and numerous other products. Materials having the same
function/application, similar color, texture or other observed similar characteristics were grouped
together and sampled as one homogeneous material. A minimum of 2 samples of each
homogenous material were collected.

Remarks and Limitations:
1.
Bulk samples were collected in a random manner and submitted via chain of custody to the
analytical laboratory. The samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy per EPA
Method 600/R-93-116, July 1993. The detection limit of the EPA recommended method is one
percent asbestos by weight. Materials containing greater than one percent asbestos are treated as
asbestos-containing as required by the EPA. The laboratory is accredited by the National Institute
of Standards and Technologies NIST/NVLAP Program and licensed by the Massachusetts
Department of Labor Standards (DLS) for asbestos analysis in bulk materials.
Homogeneous materials determined to be non-suspect by the inspector (if observed), include
concrete floors, wood flooring/joists, concrete block, black/brown vinyl flexible duct connectors,
fiberglass insulation, armaflex (neoprene) insulation, rubber, plastic, ceramic tile, glass and metal.
Any homogeneous material having at least one (1) sample analytically identified as containing
one percent (1%) asbestos or greater is categorized as an asbestos containing material. Any
material analytically identified as containing any asbestos fibers is categorized as an asbestos
containing waste material. A summary of materials identified to contain asbestos is provided in
Appendix A including approximate location(s) of the material and estimated quantities.
Laboratory Analytical Data Sheets for each sample analyzed are included in Appendix C.
Homogeneous materials where each sample analyzed was determined not to contain asbestos are
categorized as non-asbestos. A summary of non-asbestos materials is provided in Appendix B.
Laboratory Analytical Data Sheets for each sample analyzed are included in Appendix C.

If present, areas within walls, drywall encased columns and above ceilings were inspected where
possible in accessible representative locations. However, each individual enclosed area was not
inspected. Accessible areas beneath such surfaces were examined and sampled, and material
quantities were estimated based on these observations.
Additional suspect materials may be present beneath surfaces (multiple layers) or within
chases or crawlspace areas that were unknown or unaccessible at the time of the inspection
but may be discovered during demolition, renovation or maintenance activities. Any
additional suspect materials not identified in this report that become exposed during
building renovation, maintenance or demolition should be sampled and analyzed for
asbestos content prior to disturbing.

to working together in the future.
None of the suspect materials sampled were determined to have asbestos fibers present
when analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy
This report is not meant to be used as an asbestos abatement plan or abatement
specification. Material quantities and locations are estimates and approximations and
should not be used to obtain pricing from contractors. FLI recommends contracting for
abatement after an abatement specification is prepared by a licensed Asbestos Project
Designer.

Dear Samantha Lopez,
Thank you Samantha Lopez for your business.

Asbestos Identification Laboratory has completed the analysis of the samples from your office for the above referenced project.
The Analysis Method is BULK PLM ANALYSIS, EPA/600/R-93/116The 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.
