                    Health Service (NJDOH-EHS) conducted

                    Jersey to evaluate their asbestos man-
                    agement programs.

                    1988, to document Asbestos Hazard

                    nal clearance levels  of  asbestos at
                    these 17 schools, prompted a followup
                    study in 1990 to determine the airborne
                    asbestos levels  2 yr after the abate-
                    ments. Although the 1990 study pro-
                    vided data regarding airborne asbestos
                    levels during simulated occupancy con-
                    ditions 2 yr after abatements, whether
                    these data were  representative of lev-
                    els during actual occupancy was un-
                    certain.
                      Another followup study conducted in
                    May 1991 during actual occupied con-
                    ditions showed airborne asbestos lev-
                    els to be above the AHERA criterion of
                    70 structures per square millimeter
                    (s/mm2)  at 8 of the 17  schools.

                      In 1992, EPA/NJDOH conducted a fi-

                    airborne asbestos levels during actual

Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH, to announce
key findings of the research project
that is fully documented in a separate

Report ordering information at back).


Introduction
  The EPA  recommends a proactive, in-
place management program  whenever
asbestos-containing material  (ACM) is
present in buildings. Asbestos removal is
required only when necessary to prevent
significant public exposure to airborne as-
bestos during building demolition or reno-
vation activities. The ultimate goal of every
asbestos abatement project is to elimi-
nate, or reduce to the extent possible, the
actual or potential hazard airborne asbes-
tos may present to building occupants. If
all safeguards  are not properly applied,
asbestos removals may actually elevate
airborne levels of asbestos in a building.
  EPA-RREL and NJDOH-EHS conducted
a series of studies to measure airborne
asbestos levels immediately after and 2 to
4 yr after abatements in  17 New Jersey
schools. The primary purpose of these
studies was to evaluate the schools' as-
bestos management programs.
                                                                   Printed on Recycled Paper

-------
  In 1988, EPA-RREL and NJDOH-EHS
conducted a study to document AHERA
air-sampling  practices  during final clear-
ance and to  measure final clearance lev-
els of airborne asbestos at 20 projects (20
sites at 17 schools) involving removal of
ACM in 17 New Jersey schools. In 1990,
EPA/NJDOH  conducted a study at the
same 17 schools to measure airborne as-
bestos levels 2 yr after the abatements in
1988. Although the 1990 study provided
data regarding the residual  levels of as-
bestos 2 yr  after abatements, the extent
to which these data represented condi-
tions of actual occupancy remained un-
certain. In 1991,  EPA/NJDOH  measured
airborne asbestos levels under occupied
conditions at the 17 schools 3  yr after
abatements.  In 1992,  EPA/NJDOH  con-
ducted a final study at the 17 schools to
measure airborne asbestos levels under
actual occupied conditions 4 yr after abate-
ments.

Objectives
   The objectives of the 1992 study were
to  (1) determine the  airborne  asbestos
levels  measured during occupied condi-
tions in 17 schools that underwent abate-
ments in 1988; (2) evaluate the airborne
asbestos levels measured in  the 17
schools over the 4-yr period  (1988, 1990,
1991, and 1992); (3) determine the accu-
racy of each school's  Asbestos Manage-
ment Plan (AMP) for the areas monitored;
and (4) determine the possible  sources of
airborne asbestos in schools with elevated
levels.

Study Design
   The 1992 study was conducted at the
same  17 schools involved in  the  1988,
 1990, and 1991 EPA/NJDOH studies. Area
airborne asbestos levels were measured
at each site in the same three areas as in
the previous studies: the previously abated
area,  the perimeter  area  (outside the
 abated area but inside the  building), and
 outdoors. The actual abatement areas and
 perimeter areas  could not  be separated
 because the containment barriers present
 during  the  1988  abatements  had  been
 removed.

 Air Sampling Strategy
   The air sampling strategy for this study
 consisted of monitoring during periods of
 occupancy at the 17 schools (i.e., during
 school hours,  8:00 a.m. to 3:00  p.m.).
 Response actions were conducted at sites
 with average  airborne asbestos  levels
 above  0.02  s/cm3. The 0.02 s/cm3 crite-
 rion was derived from the  AHERA initial
 screening criterion of 70 s/mm2  (40 CFR
763 (Code of Federal Regulations)) and
was used by NJDOH-EHS as a level that,
if exceeded, required the school to initiate
a response action to reduce the airborne
asbestos level to below  0.02  s/cm3. A
modified aggressive air sampling protocol
was used to conduct followup sampling to
determine the completion of the response
actions. Table 1 summarizes the air sam-
pling strategy for this study and those for
the three preceding studies in 1988,1990,
and 1991.
  At each site in May 1992, five area air
samples were collected in each of three
areas at approximately the same  loca-
tions as those collected during the 1988,
1990, and 1991 studies.

July through August 1992
  Based on the May 1992 sampling, five
schools representing  six  sites were re-
quired to conduct a response action in the
1988 abatement areas and/or  perimeter
areas to reduce the  risk  of exposure to
airborne  asbestos in these school build-
ings. The response action taken at each
of the schools primarily involved cleaning
the areas to remove all visible dust and
debris. After the response actions, EPA/
NJDOH  collected  additional  area air
samples in the affected areas to establish
that they were below 0.02 s/cm3. The num-
ber and locations of the samples were the
same as those collected in May 1992.

NJDOH Inspections
   In 1991, a certified AHERA building in-
spector from NJDOH-EHS conducted an
 Table 1.  Summary of Air Sampling Strategies
                      inspection at each of these schools. The
                      inspection included a review of the school's
                      AMP relating to the 1988 abatement ar-
                      eas and perimeter areas and a visual in-
                      spection of  these  areas. In July through
                      August 1992, a followup visual  inspection
                      was conducted  at four schools with el-
                      evated airborne asbestos levels  (i.e., >0.02
                      s/cm3) based on monitoring conducted in
                      May 1992.

                      Management Plan Review
                        Before conducting the visual inspection,
                      each  school's  AMP was reviewed. The
                      review included (1) recording the material
                      category, material type, amount of mate-
                      rial, and condition of material remaining in
                      the 1988 abatement areas and perimeter
                      areas; (2) recording response actions; and
                      (3)  recording  renovations or asbestos
                      abatements that occurred after the 1988
                      abatements. This  information  was then
                      compared  with  that obtained  during the
                      visual inspection of the  1988  abatement
                      areas and perimeter areas to  determine
                      the accuracy of the original AHERA in-
                      spection regarding the  identification, as-
                      sessment, and location of ACM in these
                      areas.

                      Visual Inspections
                        The visual inspection was not intended
                      to be  a comprehensive assessment of the
                      ACM  in the school; rather, it was designed
                      to focus on the areas monitored (i.e., 1988
                      abatement areas and perimeter areas) in
                      an attempt to locate the possible sources
                      of the airborne asbestos measured in May

1991 and 1992. The visual inspection in-
cluded (1) identification and condition of
the ACM recorded as well as not recorded
in the AMP and (2) documentation of the
presence of asbestos-containing debris in
the 1988 abatement areas and perimeter
areas.  These areas were inspected  for
the presence of debris, as well as residual
ACM on the substrate-surface using pro-
cedures in accordance with those speci-
fied in ASTM Standard E1368-90.

Sampling Methods

Fixed-Station Area Air Samples
  Air  samples were collected on open-
face, 25-mm-diameter,  0.45-n.m-pore-size,
mixed cellulose ester  (MCE) membrane
filters with a 5-nm-pore-size, MCE, backup
diffusing filter and cellulose support  pad
contained in a three-piece cassette. The
filter cassettes were positioned  approxi-
mately 5 ft above the floor  on tripods, with
the filter face at approximately a 45° angle
toward the floor. The filter assembly was
attached to a 1/6-hp electrically powered
vacuum pump operating at a flow rate of
approximately 6 L/min. Air volumes ranged
from 1488 to 2500 L

Bulk Samples
  Bulk samples were collected of suspect
ACM or suspect  asbestos-containing de-
bris for  laboratory analysis to determine
the asbestos content.  A standard coring
tool or chipping tool was  used to collect
in-place materials, hand pickup was used
for debris, and wipe samples were used
for dust.

Analytical Methods

Air Samples
  The MCE filters were prepared by the
direct transfer technique and were ana-
lyzed in accordance with the nonmandatory
transmission electron  microscopy (TEM)
method, as described in the AHERA Final
Rule. A sufficient number of grid openings
were analyzed for each sample to ensure
an analytical sensitivity of no greater than
0.005 s/cm3 of air sampled. In addition to
the requirements of  the  nonmandatory
TEM method, the specific length and width
of each  structure were measured  and re-
corded.

Bulk Samples

  The type and percentage of asbestos in
the bulk samples were determined by po-
larized light microscopy (PLM) and X-ray
diffraction (XRD). The samples were pre-
pared and analyzed in accordance with
the "Interim Method for Determination of
Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples" (EPA
600/M4-82-020).

Statistical Methods
  Although the 17 schools did not repre-
sent a statistical random sample and were
likely to differ  in abatement  history and
current status  with respect to  the pres-
ence of ACM,  the 1992  data were com-
bined across all sites to examine overall
trends in airborne asbestos levels at these
schools. Analysis of  variance  (ANOVA)
techniques were used to compare airborne
asbestos levels measured in 1992. ANOVA
techniques  were also  used to compare
the airborne asbestos levels measured in
1988,1990,1991, and 1992. If the ANOVA
p-value  was less than 0.05, the  Tukey
multiple comparison procedure was used
to evaluate pairwise differences. All statis-
tical comparisons were performed at the
0.05 level of significance.

Qual ity Assu ran ce
  Specific quality assurance  procedures
specified in AHERA were used to ensure
the precision of the collection and analy-
sis of air samples, including filter lot blanks,
open and closed field blanks, and repeated
sample analyses.


Results and Discussion

Airborne Asbestos Levels
During Occupied Conditions in
May 1992
  Six of the 20 sites showed levels above
the AHERA initial screening criterion of 70
s/mm2  and above the  NJDOH-EHS re-
sponse action  criterion of 0.02 s/cm3. A
two-factor ANOVA was used  to examine
overall  differences in airborne  asbestos
levels measured at the 20 sites in 1992.
When averaged across all sites, the air-
borne asbestos levels measured  in  the
1988 abatement areas and the 1988 pe-
rimeter areas  were  numerically  greater
than the levels measured  outdoors,  but
the difference was not statistically signifi-
cant (p  =  0.1161). The  overall average
levels measured in the 1988 abatement
areas, the 1988 perimeter areas, and out-
doors we»e 0.008  s/cm3, 0.007  s/cm3,
and 0.003 s/cm3, respectively.  Although
individually the overall  airborne asbestos
levels measured in the abatement areas
and perimeter areas were not significantly
different from  levels measured  outdoors,
when combined,  the indoor airborne as-
bestos  levels  at these  20 sites  (overall
average = 0.008 s/cm3) were significantly
greater (p = 0.0408) than  levels measured
outdoors (overall average = 0.003 s/cm3).
Overall Structure Morphology
and Length Distributions
  The TEM analysis  of the samples col-
lected in May 1992 yielded a total of 1552
asbestos structures, of which 99.7% were
chrysotile asbestos and 0.3% were am-
phibole. Overall, the  asbestos structures
were primarily fibers (87%), and to a lesser
extent, matrices,  bundles,  and clusters.
Overall, 99% of the  measured asbestos
structures were less than 5 jim in length;
most of the structures  (97%) were less
than 2 |o.m in length.

NJDOH Inspections
  In 1991, NJDOH-EHS conducted an in-
spection at each of the 17 schools. In July
through August  1992,  a followup  visual
inspection was  conducted at three schools
with elevated  airborne asbestos  levels
based  on  monitoring conducted in May
1992. (The information from the 1991 and
1992 inspections was provided to the re-
spective school officials.)

Management Plan  Review
  At 16 of the 20 sites,  the schools' AMP
contained at least one error relating to the
areas of the  schools inspected  by the
NJDOH-EHS. The errors related to mate-
rial  identification or material location.
  Fourteen of the sites contained at least
one ACM not  identified in the original
AHERA inspection   conducted by the
school. The most consistently unidentified
material was  thermal system insulation
(TSI), which was not identified at 14 of the
20 sites inspected.
  At five sites,  the AMP misidentified ma-
terials.  At three of the sites the materials
did  not contain >1%  asbestos based on
bulk sample analysis by  the NJDOH-EHS.
At one of the sites, the  ACM  identified in
the  AMP was spray-on surfacing material,
but  inspections by NJDOH-EHS showed it
to be TSI. At the same  site, the AMP did
not  identify the  presence of asbestos-con-
taining  TSI in  the boiler. At one of the
sites, the school's AMP did  not identify
the  resilient floor tile as  asbestos-contain-
ing.
  At one site,  the AMP was in error re-
garding both the identification and loca-
tion of  an  ACM. The AMP indicated the
presence of spray-on  materials in an area
where no spray-on materials were present.
  Nine of the  16 sites  with AMP  errors
had elevated airborne asbestos levels in
either May 1991 or May 1992. At two  of
these sites, Operations  and Maintenance
(O&M)  activities involving ACM that was
not  identified in the AMP may have con-
tributed to the elevated airborne asbestos
levels.

-------
Residual Asbestos-Containing
Debris
  Each  site was inspected to determine
the presence of asbestos-containing de-
bris from the 1988 abatement activities
and/or asbestos-containing debris  from
other activities. The visual inspections re-
vealed the presence of asbestos-contain-
ing debris at 18 sites. At 14 sites, the
debris was present in the 1988 abatement
areas. Eight of these 14 sites also failed
the AHERA initial screening criterion of 70
s/mm2 during the 1988  clearance  test
(based  on  the EPA/NJDOH monitoring
data), which indicated that asbestos-con-
taining debris remained in the abatement
areas. The debris was believed to be from
the 1988 abatements  based  on bulk
sample  analysis, location of the  material,
and residual  debris on the original sub-
strates abated. Other asbestos-containing
debris present at 12 of the sites generally
resulted from damaged TSI, fireproofing,
and acoustical  plaster. At one  site, the
debris resulted from efflorescence of con-
crete-masonry block and/or mortar result-
ing in a white powdery material (containing
chrysotile asbestos) along the base of the
wall.
   In May 1991, elevated airborne asbes-
tos levels were measured at eight of the
sites  measured by EPA/NJDOH  in the
1988  abatement areas and/or  perimeter
areas; in 1992, six sites measured had
elevated levels. The potential sources  of
the elevated levels were believed to be
primarily the debris identified during the
visual inspections conducted in 1991 and/
or 1992. In addition, other sources such
as floor care maintenance activities could
also contribute to  the airborne  asbestos
levels present in these school buildings.

Response Action Evaluation

 1991 Response Action
   In  May  1991, 8 of the 20  sites had
average airborne asbestos levels above
0.02 s/cm3. In August 1991, EPA/NJDOH
conducted  followup  monitoring  at  these
sites  to determine if the elevated levels
still existed. Results of the followup moni-
toring indicated that four sites showed av-
erage levels exceeding  0.02 s/cm3. The
NJDOH-EHS required each  of these
schools to conduct response actions  to
reduce  the asbestos levels below the 0.02
s/cm3 criterion. The most appropriate re-
sponse action  was determined by each
school's AMP  and/or its consultant and
included dry-vacuuming  of horizontal sur-
faces with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner,
wet-wiping of horizontal surfaces, or en-
capsulation. After the response actions by
the schools, monitoring conducted by EPA/
NJDOH showed that one of the four sites
had an average airborne asbestos level
above  0.02 s/cm3. Further response ac-
tions were required at this site, and the
airborne asbestos levels were reduced to
below 0.02 s/cm3.

 1992  Response Action
   In May 1992, 6 of the 20  sites  had
average airborne asbestos levels  above
.0.02 s/cm3.  The NJDOH-EHS required
each of the five schools (representing the
six sites) to conduct response  actions to
reduce the airborne asbestos  levels be-
low the 0.02 s/cm3 criterion. After the re-
sponse actions at these five schools, air
monitoring conducted  by EPA/NJDOH
showed that the asbestos levels were be-
low the 0.02  s/cm3 criterion, and no fur-
ther response action was required at four
of the  schools. One school required addi-
tional  cleaning to  bring asbestos levels
below  the 0.02 s/cm3 criterion.

 Comparison  of 1988, 1990,
 1991, and  1992 Airborne
Asbestos Levels
   A two-factor ANOVA was  used to ex-
amine  overall differences between the
three sampling locations. Each year was
analyzed  separately. The results  of the
ANOVAs are summarized in Table 2.
   A two-factor ANOVA was used to ex-
amine overall differences between the 4
yr of sampling results. Each  sampling lo-
cation  was analyzed separately. The re-
sults of the ANOVAs are summarized  in
Table  3.

 General Observations from the
 1988, 1990, 1991, and 1992
 Studies
   Table 4 presents an overall summary of
 the air monitoring results from the four
 EPA/NJDOH  studies conducted during the
 period of 1988 through 1992. The table
 also summarizes AHERA clearance test
 results based on  the EPA/NJDOH  data
 and information regarding the visual in-
 spections conducted at these sites.

 Conclusions
   1.   Overall,  when all  of the 20  sites
       were considered collectively, there
       was no apparent trend toward pro-
       gressively increasing  airborne as-
       bestos concentrations 2 to 4 yr after
       the 1988 abatements. At a number
       of sites, however, airborne  asbes-
       tos concentrations were elevated
       immediately after and 2 to 4 yr af-
       ter the 1988 abatements.
 2.  Response actions conducted by the
     schools in 1991 and 1992 demon-
     strated that elevated airborne as-
     bestos levels can  be reduced to
     acceptable levels (i.e., <0.02 s/cm3);
     however, five of the eight schools
     requiring a response action in 1991,
     again required a response action in
     1992.
 3.  Asbestos-containing debris from the
     1988 abatement activities and from
     postabatement O&M activities may
     have contributed to  the elevated
     airborne  asbestos  levels (>0.02
     s/cm3) present in 1991 or 1992, or
     both at nine sites.
 4.  Errors in  the AMPs relating to ma-
     terial identification or material loca-
     tion were documented at 13 of the
     17  schools. The errors at three
     schools may  have  resulted in the
     accidental disturbance of ACM.
 5.  A standardized visual inspection  is
     an  effective tool to determine the
     presence of residual asbestos-con-
     taining debris that  may potentially
     become reentrained.
 6.  When the AHERA Z-test is used to
     clear an abatement project, it  is
     generally more appropriate to use
     the outdoor samples as the refer-
     ence point rather than the.perim-
     eter samples collected inside the
     building.  At nine schools, airborne
     asbestos levels in the perimeter ar-
     eas after the 1988 abatements were
     significantly higher than those mea-
     sured before the abatements. (Re-
     sults  of preabatement samples
     collected in the perimeter areas and
     outdoors did not differ significantly).
 7.  Consultants  who  conducted the
     schools' clearance  air monitoring in
     1988 often did not completely un-
     derstand  and follow  the  AHERA
     sampling and  analytical  require-
     ments and recommendations. Prac-
     tices observed  during  clearance
     monitoring included inadequate dry-
     ing of the abatement areas before
     sampling, use of improper sampling
     medium and flow rates, inadequate
     aggressive  air sweeping of sur-
     faces, and insufficient use of circu-
     lating fans to maintain air movement
     during sampling.

Recommendations
  1.  A study should be  conducted  to
     evaluate the long-term effectiveness
     of  asbestos response actions  in
     schools. This information would as-
     sist EPA in evaluating the need for
     issuance of guidance on response
     actions.

  2.  Although not specifically  required      3.
      by AH ERA, schools should evalu-
      ate the effectiveness of their O&M
      program and periodic surveillance.
      Areas of the buildings that have
      undergone  asbestos-removal or
      O&M activity  (involving ACM)
      should be  thoroughly  reinspected
      for the presence of residual asbes-
      tos-containing debris. If asbestos-      4.
      containing  debris are  observed,
      thorough cleaning and followup air
      monitoring should be conducted.
                                          education agencies, AH ERA desig-
                                          nated persons,  and consultants to
                                          enhance their understanding of the
                                          intent and requirements of AHERA.
                                          Thorough  regulatory  oversight is
                                          necessary  to ensure compliance
                                          within the requirements of AHERA.
                                      5.   Outdoor air samples should be used
                                          as  the "outside values"  in  the
                                          AHERA Z-test  because  they are
                                          less likely to be affected by  work
                                          practices  that  may contaminate
                                          other areas inside the building.
                                      6.   A  standardized visual inspection
                                          technique   (e.g., ASTM  Standard
                                          E1368) should  be included in the
                                          AHERA final clearance procedure.
                                          Furthermore, this type of standard-
                                          ized visual inspection procedure (or
                                          a variation thereof) should be in-
                                          corporated into the 3-yr AHERA
                                          AMP reinspections.
                                      7.   A comprehensive  guidance docu-
                                          ment should be developed that ad-
                                          dresses  the  procedures  and
                                          protocols for conducting a standard-
                                          ized visual inspection and AHERA
                                          clearance air sampling.

                                    subcontract to Pacific  Environmental Ser-
                                    vices, Herndon, VA 22070. This work was
                                    conducted under  the  sponsorship of the
                                    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Each school  should maintain  and
update its AMP to keep it current
with  ongoing O&M, periodic  sur-
veillance,  inspection, reinspection,
response actions, and  post-re-
sponse action activities. The school
should ensure  that  workers who
may disturb  ACM  are aware of
changes in the AMP.
EPA, cooperatively with state agen-
cies, need to provide further  out-
reach and  education   to   all
responsible parties such  as local
