RE: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment


District Heights Elementary School
2200 County Road, District Heights, MD 20747
Tidewater Project No.: 1117-150
Dear Mr. Baylor:
On April 5th, 7th, and 10th, 2017, Tidewater, Inc. (Tidewater), represented by Project Manager
Mr. Skanda Abeyesekere MS, CIH, CSP, CHMM and industrial hygienist Mr. Dhanushka
Gamage, performed an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessment at District Heights Elementary
School located at 2200 Country Road in District Heights, Maryland. Additional air sampling for
bioaerosols was also performed on April 11th, 2017. Tidewater performed the IAQ testing at the
request of Prince Georges County Public Schools (PGCPS) representative, Mr. Alex Baylor.
The scope of work for the IAQ assessment included:
Visual inspection for evidence of potential indoor air quality problems (including suspect
microbial growth, water damage, chemical use/storage, drain traps, sources of
allergens/contaminants, etc.) that might contribute to indoor air quality problems;
Comfort parameter air testing in all occupied areas: direct read measurements for
temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2)
for comparison with guidelines established by the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62.12016, Ventilation for
Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA);
Air Sampling for bioaerosols in occupied areas using Allergenco-D cassettes affixed to a
Buck BioAireTM Model B520 Bioaerosol Sampling Pump for total airborne fungal spore
analysis; and
Air sampling for Total (nuisance) dust in all occupied areas for comparison with guidelines
established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA.)
Visual Observations
Tidewaters assessment included a visual inspection of occupied areas of District Heights
Elementary School. The results of Tidewaters visual inspection are as follows:
In general, the Main Office area, Vice Principals office, Classroom 4, Classroom 17,
Classroom K-2, Classroom 10, Media Room, Classroom 7B, and Classroom M-18
appeared to be relatively clean, which provides evidence of good housekeeping
practices in the building;
The air supply/return diffusers observed in the Main Office area, common areas, the
classrooms and other areas appeared to be generally clean;

6625 Selnick Drive, Suite A, Elkridge, MD 21075 (410) 540-8700 p (410) 997-8713 f www.tideh2o.net
Tidewater did not observe any standing water or active water intrusion during the visual
inspection. However, water-stained ceiling tiles were observed in the main office room,
storage room, and Classroom 4 during the inspection conducted on April 7, 2017.
However, all water damaged ceiling tiles had been replaced before the April 10, 2017
site visit;
Dark spots were observed on the bathroom ceiling in Classroom M-22;
Air supply grills with minor rust were observed in Classroom 2, the Diagnosis Room,
Classroom 7B, and Student Project Room #3;
Classroom M-18 was unoccupied at the time of the inspection, and efforts to identify
water infiltration points in the vicinity of the perimeter window seams were underway.
Drywall and wall cavity insulation in these areas had been removed, and the areas
covered with plastic sheeting; and,
The office areas are serviced by ceiling mounted air supply vents and return air grills.
The HVAC systems in most office areas were in operation at the time of the inspection
and the air circulation within most classrooms appeared to be adequate.
Comfort Parameter Air Testing
During the assessment, Tidewater recorded temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide
(CO2), and carbon monoxide (CO) measurements in select areas of District Heights Elementary
School using a Metrosonics Indoor Air Quality instrument (Model Number AQ-5000, Serial
Number 2157.) Tidewater recorded these measurements after allowing the device to become
acclimated to the ambient temperature and relative humidity for five (5) minutes. Tidewater
programmed the Metrosonics Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) instrument to sample every 30 seconds
for a period of 10 minutes at each location, and the average concentration of each comfort
parameter was recorded. Tidewater also obtained background samples from outside the main
entrance to the school building each day for comparison.
The results of the IAQ comfort parameter monitoring are provided in Table 1, in Appendix A.
According to the American Society for Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) guidelines Standard 62.1 2016, the temperature range in summer months should
be maintained between 73F and 79F for maximum occupant comfort. The ASHRAE guideline
for temperature for winter months is between 68.0F and 74.5F. The indoor temperature levels
within the areas sampled ranged between 66.4F and 78.4F. The background temperature
levels outside the building ranged between 51.4F and 76.2. The majority of the temperature
levels recorded within the indoor locations were within the ASHRAE recommended guidelines
for comfort for the spring transitional season.
Per the same guideline, a maximum recommended relative humidity level of 65.0% is
recommended to reduce the likelihood of condensation on cold surfaces. Relative humidity
levels within the indoor locations ranged between 26.6% and 45.3%. The background relative
humidity levels ranged between 28.0% and 40.0% outside the building. The relative humidity
readings in the indoor locations were below the ASHRAE recommended maximum relative
humidity level of 65%.
ASHRAE Standard 62.1 2016 recommends that indoor CO2 levels not exceed 700 ppm above
the outdoor background CO2 level. The CO2 levels in the indoor locations ranged between 477

Page 2 of 5
ppm to 1,447 ppm. The background CO2 levels outside the building ranged between 420 ppm
and 517 ppm. The CO2 levels within Classrooms 5 exceeded 700 ppm above the outdoor
background CO2 level (517), which is the maximum ASHRAE recommended guideline for CO2
in indoor environments. The elevated CO2 levels in this classroom indicate inadequate air
supply to this classroom. There were over 20 students in this classroom during the inspection.
Tidewater did not detect CO in all indoor areas assessed, and therefore were below the
maximum guideline of 9 ppm recommended by the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) for CO
in occupied indoor environments.
Particulate Sampling for Total (Nuisance) Dust
Particulate matter sampling for total dust indicate that the total particulate levels in all locations
sampled were below the OSHA 8-hour Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 15 mg/m3 for total
(nuisance) dust levels in office environments.
Direct read measurements for total (nuisance) dust are summarized on Table 2, in Appendix A.
Spore Trap Bioaerosol Sampling
One April 5, 2017, Tidewater collected a total of 22 spore trap air samples using Allegenco-D
cassettes to characterize potential airborne fungal spores within the school building. On April 7,
2017, Tidewater collected a total of 15 samples and on April 10th, 2017 Tidewater collected a
total of 11 samples using Allegenco-D cassettes from representative areas of the building. On
April 11, 2017, Tidewater collected a total of seven (7) samples from areas of the building where
drywall and wall cavity insulation had been removed as part of efforts to identify water infiltration
points in perimeter walls. Background samples were collected outside the building each day of
the survey to provide a baseline for comparison.
Tidewater obtained these samples using Allergenco-D cassettes to characterize potential
airborne fungal spores in the assessed areas. Air samples were collected for total fungal
spores using the pump from a Buck BioAire Bioaerosol Sampling Pump (Pump Model
Number B520 and Serial Number B151491) calibrated to a flow rate of 15.0 Liters per minute.
Each sample was run for a period of five (5) minutes at each location to collect a total sample
volume of 75 liters of air.
Once collected, the samples were transported to EMSL Analytical Laboratory (EMSL) located in
Beltsville, Maryland for analysis with a same day turnaround time. The samples were
transported following rigorous chain-of-custody guidelines to ensure proper handling and
delivery of the samples. EMSL is accredited in the American Industrial Hygiene Association
(AIHA) Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP) and is a
successful participant in AIHAs Environmental Microbiology Proficiency Analytical Testing
(EMPAT) program (Laboratory Number 102891.)
The samples were analyzed via light microscopy at the standardized magnification of 600X.
This technique does not allow for the differentiation between Aspergillus and Penicillium spores
because they are morphologically identical. Additionally, the technique does not allow for
cultivation, or the identification of spores to the species level, except in a few cases.
There are no universally accepted federal or State of Maryland standards for acceptable
airborne concentrations of bioaerosols in an indoor occupational environment. In general,
airborne concentrations indoors should be less than that found in the outdoor air, with similar

Page 3 of 5
species composition. Indoor spore counts significantly greater than those outdoors, or the
presence of large numbers of different types of spores indoors that are not found outdoors, may
indicate contamination and potential indoor air quality problems.
The total mold spore counts in all samples obtained from selected areas of the building on April
11, 2017 ranged between 240 and 1,340 spores per cubic meter (spores/m3). The total mold
spore concentration in the outdoors (background) sample was 1,540. The total mold spore
concentrations in all indoor locations sampled on April 11, 2017 were below the outdoors
(background) sample total count of 1,540 spores/m3. No significant concentrations of individual
fungal species were identified in the assessed indoor area samples. These results do not
suggest the presence of a significant indoor source of fungal contamination that would
adversely affect indoor air quality within the sampled areas.
The summary of the results for the spore trap sampling are provided in Table 3 in Appendix A.
The laboratory analytical results, including speciation and chain of custody forms for the spore
trap samples are included as Attachment B.
Conclusions
Based on this IAQ assessment, Tidewater offers the following conclusions:
Tidewaters visual inspection of the select occupied areas of the District Heights
Elementary School did not reveal any visible evidence of ongoing water intrusion on the
walls, floors or ceiling in any of the office areas inspected. However, stained ceiling tiles,
indicating signs of past water intrusion were observed in the Main Office, Storage Room,
and Classroom 4. These areas had been abated, cleaned and sanitized, and the ceiling
tiles replaced by the end of our assessment;
The average temperature readings in the select indoor areas ranged between 66.4F
and 78.4F. Majority of these occupied spaces had temperature levels within the
ASHRAE recommended comfort guidelines for the spring transitional season;
The average relative humidity levels in the select indoor areas ranged between 26.6%
and 45.3%. These relative humidity levels were below the ASHRAE recommended
maximum relative humidity level of 65%;
The CO2 levels within Classrooms 5 exceeded 700 ppm above the outdoor background
CO2 level (517 ppm), which is the maximum ASHRAE recommended guideline for CO2
in indoor environments. The elevated CO2 levels indicate inadequate air supply to this
classroom;
Tidewater did not detect CO in all indoor locations assessed;
Particulate sampling for total (nuisance) dust analytical results are all of the samples
collected were below the OSHA 8-hour Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 15 mg/m3
for total (nuisance) dust; and
Total spore trap air sampling results do not indicate the presence of a significant indoor
source of fungal contamination that would adversely affect indoor air quality within the
assessed areas of the building.

Recommendations
Based on these findings, Tidewater recommends the following steps:
Clean the bathroom ceiling in classroom M-22 with kitchen/bathroom sanitizing solution
to remove the dark spots observed on the ceiling. If staining of the surface remains, the
area should be repainted with a fungal-resistant paint. Also, ensure proper bathroom
exhaust operation to help reduce humidity and the resulting condensation in the room.
Adjust the HVAC system in Classroom 5 to provide adequate conditioned air for the
anticipated occupancy of the area. This will help lower the overall CO2 levels to a
standard below 700 ppm above the background levels.
Qualifications
Tidewater has endeavored to investigate existing conditions at the District Heights Elementary
School located at 2200 Country Road, District Heights, Maryland as they pertain to indoor air
quality. Our conclusions and recommendations are based on the observations made on the
days of our assessment, laboratory data from the time of the assessment, and information
provided by both our Client and the area occupants. Actual conditions vary from day to day
throughout the year.
Tidewater appreciates the opportunity to provide consulting services for Prince Georges County
Public Schools. Please contact us should any questions arise concerning this report or if we
may be of further assistance.

High levels of background particulate can obscure spores and other particulates leading to underestimation. Background levels of 5 indicate an overloading of background particulates, prohibiting accurate
detection and quantification. Present = Spores detected on overloaded samples. Results are not blank corrected unless otherwise noted. The detection limit is equal to one fungal spore, structure, pollen, fiber
particle or insect fragment. "*" Denotes particles found at 300X. *-* denotes not detected. EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis. This report relates only to the samples reported above and may not

or Other Approved Signatory
High levels of background particulate can obscure spores and other particulates leading to underestimation. Background levels of 5 indicate an overloading of background particulates, prohibiting accurate
detection and quantification. Present = Spores detected on overloaded samples. Results are not blank corrected unless otherwise noted. The detection limit is equal to one fungal spore, structure, pollen, fiber
particle or insect fragment. "*" Denotes particles found at 300X. *-* denotes not detected. EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis. This report relates only to the samples reported above and may not
be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by EMSL. EMSL bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations. Interpretation and use of test results are the
