• NYC / ER (Dec 4)
o Monitoring for hexamethylene diisocyanate (detection limit = 1 ppb), methylene
bisphenyl isocyanate (detection limit = 2 ppb), and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (detection
limit = 2 ppb) did not detect any of those compounds.
o Locations monitored for cyanide compounds included: Locations A, B, C, D, E, P, R, S,
3B from the fixed ambient air sampling stations.
o Measurements for the cyanide compounds consisted of one 3-minute run taken twice that
day at each of the locations.
o Data not attached.
• NYC / ER (Dec 6)
o Nothing of significance reported with routine daily monitoring parameters.
o Monitoring for hexamethylene diisocyanate (detection limit = 1 ppb), methylene
bisphenyl isocyanate (detection limit =2 ppb), and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (detection
limit = 2 ppb) did not detect any of those compounds.
o Locations monitored for the cyanide compounds included: north side of North Tower,
Austin Tobin Plaza near the barrier of the inner work zone, southeast corner of South
Tower, the western barrier of the inner work zone at West St./Liberty- St., and Locations
A, B, C, D, E, P, R, S, 3B from the fixed ambient air sampling stations.
o Measurements for cyanide compounds at the first four locations consisted of a 30-35
minute continuous run at each location.
o Measurements for the cyanide compounds at the fixed ambient air sampling stations
consisted of one 3-minute run taken twice that day at each of the locations.
o Cyanide data not attached.
