Environmental Characterization Report Fiterman Hall, 30 West Broadway, New York, NY Airtek Project #05-0867 — January 10, 2006

Airtek also conducted representative confirmatory sampling throughout Fiterman Hall for comparison to data from other WTC sites, and to published contaminant reference points. As an additional point of reference, Airtek reviewed WTC-specific human health risk assessment findings for the levels and types of contamination detected in the Building. The assessments determined that the potential impact of this contamination on healthy occupants and sensitive sub-populations including, but not limited to, pregnant women, children, the elderly, and immuno-compromised individuals was significant. The primary drivers of risk in the reviewed data were dioxin and lead. These are two of the contaminants of potential concern detected at elevated levels at Fiterman Hall.
