Information About Re-entering Buildings
EPA has found the presence of asbestos containing material in some of the dust samples taken from the World Trade Center debris. If you find that your apartment or workplace contains more than a minimal amount of dust, the space should be cleaned by a professional asbestos contractor before you re-occupy. A list of certified contractors in the New York area can be found on the New York City Department of Environmental Protection Web site.
If you find a minimal amount of dust on returning to your home or workplace, follow the New York City Department of Health recommendations for people re-occupying buildings. These procedures should also be followed if re-occupied residences or offices become dusty due to ongoing work at the World Trade Center.
