Will samples be collected after cleaning is completed?
Indoor air or surface samples will not be collected as part of this cleaning program. Indoor sampling is not recommended since exposure pathways for volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) have been effectively managed though site engineering controls and an extensive network of air monitoring and sampling equipment. Any VOCs that may have been present from the early days of the response would have broken down quickly. In addition, common household chemicals (fuels, cosmetics, paints, glues, smoking/vaping, etc.) would interfere with the sampling results.
