This document is a test report detailing the asbestos analysis of bulk materials from an "Insulation Testing" project. It was conducted via AHERA Method 40CFR 763 Subpart E, Appendix E, supplemented with EPA 600/R-93/116 using Polarized Light Microscopy.

• Sample 1 (ATTIC INSULATION): Described as Cellulose Insulation, appearing brown/gray/yellow. It contained 45% Cellulose Fibrous and 40% MinWool, with 15.0% Non-fibrous (Other). No asbestos was detected.
• Sample 2 (WALL CAVITY INSULATION): Described as Vermiculite Insulation, appearing brown/silver/gold and non-fibrous. It was 99% Vermiculite and 1.0% Non-fibrous (Other). Less than 1% Actinolite asbestos was detected.
• Notes: Vermiculite is identified as a problem matrix, and other analytical options are recommended. Guidance limits for detection and EPA recommendations are provided.

This report provides critical information about the presence or absence of asbestos in insulation materials. Bidders involved in insulation testing, abatement, or renovation projects related to this opportunity should review these findings to understand the material composition and potential hazards encountered.
