Leaving air-moving equipment in operation has also been shown to provide the most accurate test <br /> results during the clearance assessment. If HEPA machines are moved or shut down while the area is under <br /> negative pressure, be sure the machines are properly shut off and HEPA filters are sealed in plastic to avoid re- <br /> contamination prior to the PRV. <br /> o The PRV assessment will include a visual inspection and collection of airborne particle load (PMlo) <br /> readings from several interior areas. ESG may also choose to collect a swab surface sample of framing <br /> and/or floor system to be sure surface levels of fungal spores are at a normal fungal ecology level as <br /> defined by the 5520 standard.
