The analytical results for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon in air samples obtained from the indoor air of a single family residence (Creosote Contamination in a Residential Environment, Part II) indicated potential carcinogenic risk to human inhabitants of the residence as a consequence of exposure by inhalation to semivolatile polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon. To minimize or eradicate this carcinogenic risk, the Landowners of the subject residence undertook to remove creosote contaminated structural wood from the understructure of the premises. The Contractor hired by the Landowner removed and replaced with untreated wood, approximately 75% of the structural wood originally contaminated with creosote. Subsequent to removal and replacement of creosote contaminated wood at the subject premises, the Landowner requested from Mehler & Associates Inc., a follow-up analysis of the residential indoor air to determine the extent of abatement of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in the residential indoor air.
