Dear JEFFREY KAZOR, 

The Douglas County Health Department and the Environmental Protection Agency visited your home for 

the purposes of health education and house dust sampling. Dust collected from your home has been analyzed 

and the results are being sent to you in this letter.

Entryway 1 pg/ft' 40

In general, EPA considers any floor dust result below 40 micrograms per square foot (pg/ft") to be safe. 

Windowsill samples are safe when they are below 250 (ug/ft").

All ofthe dust samples collected from your home were below a level that would be considered hazardous 

to children six years of age or younger. 

If one or more floor samples is 40 or more: 

At least one ofthe samples from the floor ofyour home had lead at a level that would be considered 

unsafe for children six years of age or younger. The Douglas County Health Department has developed a 

Fact Sheet which includes tips that will help reduce the amount of lead tracked into your home. Following 

these tips will help reduce the amount of lead in your house dust. A copy ofthis fact sheet is enclosed with 

this letter. 

If the windowsill sample is 250 or greater:

years of age or younger. It would be wise to wipe dust off windowsills often to reduce the opportunity for 

human exposure. In addition, the Douglas County Health Department has developed a Fact Sheet which 

includes tips that will help reduce the amount of lead tracked into your home. Following these tips will help 

reduce the amount of lead in your house dusL A copy ofthis fact sheet is enclosed with this letter.

children six years of age or younger. The Douglas County Health Department has developed a Fact Sheet 

which includes tips that will help reduce the amount of lead tracked into your home. Following these tips
