Some of those vintage buildings also used lead pipes for plumbing and drain
lines.

 

Floor tiles from that era also contained asbestos.

 

If you have access to a UV-absorption monitor (often used for ambient
measurement of ozone) you can use it to detect ppb levels of mercury vapor,

once you adjust for ambient ozone.
