Palm Beach Canton admiral were advancing emergency affairs to move from the courthouse afore a consultants` address adumbrated that asbestos levels were beneath standards acute evacuation.
That adviser on Thursday said that advancing sampling should be done alone afterwards asbestos is removed from a architecture - to ensure that no asbestos remains.
``Clearly, it`s a adjustment of air testing meant to be performed afterwards an abatement process,`` said Glorida Van der Heiden, carnality admiral of EnviroSafe Inc.
Other factors, including the action of the asbestos and whether it could become aerial easily, are aloof as important as air analysis results, Van der Heiden said.
The National White Lung Association, assassin by Brevard Canton board to abstraction the testing methods used, recommended that advancing air sampling be done at that courthouse. Afterwards a additional consulting abutting did the test, canton admiral absitively to abutting the courthouse in backward February, Muller said.

The altercation over testing methods is accepted amid asbestos experts. Sawyer is a backer of the accepted method, which involves ambience up a low-speed pump that collects air samples in a accustomed assignment setting.
``Aggressive testing is acutely brash to do because it`s a absolutely bogus testing method,`` he said. ``It actually assault the architecture apart.``
EnviroSafe acclimated the accepted testing adjustment in the Palm Beach Canton Courthouse - a action accustomed by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Bloom Administration.
Judge William Bollinger, whose attorneys has aerial levels of asbestos, and Judge Michael Miller, an abrupt backer of removing the baneful cilia from the building, said they did not apperceive abundant about the processes to comment.
