[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-15]
A minimum of two paint samples may be collected from each suspect
room which should include a windowsill and door or door frame. In
addition, samples may also be collected from other highly-suspected
areas, such as crib railings, playpen railings, stairs or banisters
and surfaces with loose paint. Preferred locations to be sampled may
include surfaces which have been chewed or eaten, suspected of having
been chewed or eaten or areas which are peeling or flaking. All interior
sampling should generally be limited to that part of the surface which
may eventually be required to be removed.

centimeter of paint surface when tested by this method shall be in
