Revised on October 13, 2003

In response to demands from last year's conference, we will have a demonstration of clean-up techniques by Greentree Environmental Services.  You will get to see how a room with lead-dust hazards (lead only simulated) is cleaned from beginning to end including the clearance examination.  You can stop in and see the demonstration during the breaks to see how the work is proceeding.
