Governor State Surgeon General October 15, 2008 The Honorable Charlie Justice The Honorable Rick Kriseman The Honorable Janet Long 8601 4thStreet, North Suite 100 St. Petersburg, Florida 33702 Re: Indoor Air Testing Near Raytheon in St. Petersburg Dear Senator Justice, Representatives Kriseman and Long: Thank you for your recent letter dated October 1, 2008 regarding the Department of Health's (DOH) indoor air quality testing of nine apartments, condominiums, and other buildings above groundwater contamination from the Raytheon hazardous waste site in St. Petersburg. DOH initiated these tests as a precaution to determine if vapors from the contaminated groundwater are entering buildings. Preliminary results suggest that groundwater vapors are not entering these buildings. None of the chemicals most frequently found in contaminated groundwater from Raytheon (trichloroethene, vinyl chloride, etc.) were found in the indoor air of these buildings. DOH collected two sequential 12-hour samples from each building. We shipped them via DHL to a specialized laboratory in Utah for analysis. Subsequently, we learned that DHL lost one of the shipping boxes containing four air samples. Despite repeated inquires, DHL was unable to find the missing box. DHL is reimbursing the laboratory $2,400 for the air sample containers. DOH received written permission to test indoor air from the owners of the Brandywine apartments and from the residents, including Mr. Oscar Silva. The signed consent forms included instructions on various household products and chemicals that should not be used for 72 hours prior to testing.
