Purdue / California Department of Insurance Environmental-Testing Guidance

A Purdue presentation prepared for the California Department of Insurance Smoke Claims and Remediation Task Force documents major inconsistencies in testing and remediation after the Eaton and Palisades fires. It emphasizes that testing only for visible ash, soot or char does not determine whether hazards such as lead or asbestos are present, and that incomplete sampling locations or inconsistent comparison standards can miss contamination.
