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 BBWKM 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 jiiMMMg 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.
