NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

patients they are seeing?
• Are there recommendations for taking supplements to off set
the effects of the dust and air?

tested for toxins in the blood?
Ill OUTDOOR RELATED ISSUES
A. Outdoor Air Testing
• Who is doing research on the synergistic effects of the various
toxic substances together in the air?
• Since the only standards for assessing the impact of asbestos
are for occupational exposure over 20 years, does this mean
that residents of Lower Manhattan could be more at risk for a
shorter period of time since many people are in the area for 24
hour periods (NOT an 8 hour day like factory workers?)
• How do you respond to scientists who say that the standards
being used to assess health impacts of asbestos are too low?
B. Parks
• Are local parks and playgrounds cleaned regularly? Can there
be a sign posted as to when the park was last tested and
cleaned?
• is soil tested for asbestos and other toxic substances?
C. Debris Removal
• Trucks not always wetting down and putting tarps over debris,
whom should they call to complain?
• Why can’t the material on the trucks be containerized?
D. Barge
• Noise complaints: banging is keeping people awake at night,
who should they call to complain
• Dust: Debris is being dispersed through the air
