Based on the results of the July and August 2016, indoor air sampling events, PSI
concluded that indoor air quality did not appear to be a concern, PSI did not suspect a
problem with the buildings vapor barrier, and PSI did not suspect that soil vapors from
the contaminant plume under the building were impacting the air quality inside the
building.
NOVEMBER 21, 2016 INDOOR AIR SAMPLING ACTIVITIES
Nine 6-liter Summa canisters were used with 8-hr regulators to collect air samples from
various locations around the school (see Figure 1).
Of the nine samples collected, only three samples were analyzed due to problems with
the sampling, summa canisters, or regulators. The canisters should leave the laboratory
with a pressure (vacuum) of -28.6 inches of mercury (inHg). After the regulators on each
canister are opened and then closed eight hours later, the pressure should be between
3 inHg and 5 inHg. The laboratory supplying the canisters, GD Air Testing Inc. in
Richardson, Texas, did not provide regulators with gauges, so the pressure could not be
measured by PSI in the field. When the samples were received by the laboratory after
the samples were collected, the laboratory reported the pressures in samples IA-3, IA-5,
and IA-8 between -5.1 inHg and -6.3 inHg. The pressures in the other six samples were
between -17.8 inHg and -28.3 inHg. Based on these pressures, these six samples (with
the pressures between -17.8 inHg and -28.3 inHg) were 1/3 or less full of air and the
laboratory would not be able to analyze the results without diluting the samples. Based
on this information, only the three samples that were close to full (IA-3, IA-5, and IA-8)
were analyzed by the laboratory.
DECEMBER 3, 2016 INDOOR AIR SAMPLING ACTIVITIES
On Saturday, December 3, 2016, PSI collected six new indoor air samples from the same
locations of the six samples that were not analyzed from the November 21, 2016 sampling
event. ALS Laboratories in Salt Lake City, Utah was selected to provide the equipment
and analysis of the December 3, 2016 samples. The new samples were collected with
6-Liter summa canisters with gauges on their regulators so the sampler could read the
pressure at the start and the end of the testing period. Based on the readings on the
gauges after the 8-hour testing period, the six samples each collected a sufficient volume
of air for the samples to be analyzed.
Based on the results of the recent indoor air sampling events, soil vapors from the
contaminant plume are not impacting the air inside the building above EPA OSWER
Target Indoor Air Concentrations Screening Levels for residential and commercial sites
and / or the TCEQs RBELs (see Table 1).
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and
trichloroethylene (TCE), two contaminants of concern found at elevated levels in the soil
and groundwater on the subject property, were not detected above the laboratorys
detection limits in the indoor air samples collected.
