600s = Total volatile organic compounds as hexane
700s = Formaldehyde
* Blank quantities are in micrograms per tube and the quantity has been subtracted from the detected quantities.
ND = None Detected followed by the minimum detection quantity.
4-Phenylcyclohexene, a contaminant that has been identified in outgassing from synthetic latex carpet glue, was not detected in these samples to a detection limit ranging from 0.001 to 0.010 parts per million.
603 and 703 were not analyzed - the pump died.
< = Less than or equal, the concentration that follows is the minimum detection limit that could be identified with accuracy. This translates to a trace of formaldehyde.
The total volatile organics appeared to be low molecular weight alcohols or ketones. These concentrations are typical of those in a new building and should not cause health effects. The concentrations should gradually decrease as more outside air dilutes the building during cooler weather. The concentrations will be re-checked in late October.
