LBP-concrete results being calculated - CMRA News - lead-based paint - Brief Article

C&D Recycler, May-June, 2003

The first results are in from the air, soil, and employee monitoring done at the Fort Ord, Calif., military facility where demolition and recycling of concrete military housing with lead-based paint on it took place. Initial results show generally favorable returns.

There were no problems with the amount of lead employees came into contact with, nor was there any detection of airborne lead from the crushing or the demolition, according to Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA) executive director William Turley. There was a relatively high amount of lead on one spot on the crusher, but the rest of the wipe samples from the crusher were quite low, he reports. The entire results of all the testing will be published in the summer of 2003.
