Asbestos level at MacArthur Elementary within permissible exposure

Here is some information concerning asbestos at MacArthur Elementary. Thompson further explained the concept of the allowable amount. “They have what they call a permissible exposure level (PEL), which is .1 percent,” he said. “All of the air that we sampled out there was below the detection level. They couldn’t even pick up a fiber on the microscope. It was well below the PEL.”

Thompson said the report he filed is part of a procedure set up in a management plan for a “fiber release episode” of any kind. “That was the procedure that we followed,” he said. “The state asked for a report which was filed with them, and they concurred that everything looked fine.”
