    Bahnke: Any soil sample sent for lab analysis prior to mid August 2004 does have potential to be higher than it's XRF counterpart. Bahnke speculates that at a group of soil samples with extraordinarily high lead concentrations have a greater potential to have lead paint in them. Non foundation samples with lead above 2,500 ppm are rare and this, to my mind, suggests that another source contributes to the unusually high concentrations.

    Bob - Any soil sample sent for lab analysis prior to mid August 2004 does have potential to be higher than it's XRF counterpart because the material was not sieved prior to analysis like the XRF sample was. I speculate that the sieving
    removes some paint chips. The fact that the correlation between XRF data and lab

    data greatly improved when we began sending the XRF specimens to the iab instead
    of a split sample supports this speculation.

    I also speculate that at a group of soil samples with extraordinarily high lead
    concentrations have a greater potential to have lead paint in them. Non foundation

    samples with lead above 2,500 ppm are rare and this, to my mind, suggests that another source contributes to the unusually high concentrations. It is possible that this additional contribution is from lead paint. It may be possible to prove this
    theory by having the soil speciated by Drexler.

    My main purpose for sending the email below was to stop the suspicions some people still have about the quality of the data that B&V and ENSV have provided to
    us.

    I hope everone is deleting these types of messages after they are received, since they will be releasable, if saved, for the next FOIA from Patton-Boggs, Don, are you
    suggesting that all of the samples collected prior to August are biased high because

    of the possible presence of lead paint? Bob
