TTL’s experienced team of professionals
are certified to prepare professional evaluations, management plans,
design abatement projects, manage abatement projects, and
conduct air monitoring and clearance sampling for hazardous materials including PCB’s, Mercury, Asbestos, Lead and Mold.
Asbestos Sampling & Analysis
TTL identifies the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulation Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1926.1101, the National Emission Standards of Hazardous Air Pollutants Asbestos Regulations 40 CFR Part 61, and the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1987.
“In-house” Asbestos Laboratory
Bulk samples are collected of suspected ACMs and transported to TTL’s laboratory for Polarized Light Microscopy analysis. TTL’s in-house analytical laboratory is part of the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The U.S. EPA “Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials,” EPA/600/R-93/116, requires that all multiple, distinct layers must be analyzed individually. Therefore, sample analysis results are provided for each distinct layer of each sample submitted to the laboratory.
Lead Paint Inspection Surveys & Analysis
TTL’s licensed and certified lead inspectors conduct comprehensive lead paint inspections to generate preliminary lead survey reports that contain detailed information on the location of surfaces that contain lead, the percent of lead content, and the physical condition of the surface materials.
Mercury, PCB & other Hazardous Inspection Survey Analysis
TTL’s certified lead inspectors
can conduct thorough inspections for mercury and
PCB's.
Mold Identification, Monitoring & Abatement
TTL uses several sampling procedures to identify visible and
obscured colonies of mold or fungi. A sample is taken,
sealed and transported to an accredited
laboratory for analysis. Indoor Air Quality Monitoring identifies airborne fungal spores within the area
of concern or impacted area, which are then
compared to an outdoor air sample.
After a visual inspection and sampling, TTL’s professionals make recommendations and provide cost estimates to remediate the mold issue and
correct the moisture infiltration that has been vital in facilitating fungal growth.
After mold abatement activities, TTL conducts
Clearance Sampling to determine that the
clean-up was effective.
TTL’s Hazardous Materials Team is experienced in sampling, analysis, identification, monitoring and abatement activities for hazardous materials including PCB’s, Mercury, Lead, Asbestos and Mold. |
