And as we all know, this largely depends on the responsible party's willingness to act in best interest of building occupants, and has no enforcement implications, leaving consultants in a bit of a lurch. I do tend to agree however, that any presence of Asbestos on surfaces is atypical of healthy building conditions. We ran into this at WTC when evaluating buildings and the NYCDEP used percentage by weight using PLM...a grossly inadequate evaluative method.J.
