setting, where the duration and intensity of asbestos exposure can be greater, there is a higher risk to workers. Workers at the WTC site need to use the appropriate protective equipment to reduce exposure. Exposure to some forms of fibrous glass (fiberglass) can cause cough, and eye, nose, skin, and throat irritation. Long-term health effects associated with fibrous glass are not completely known and standards for measurement of fibrous glass in environmental samples are not well established. Although fiberglass is classified as a possible carcinogen, recent studies of more than 30,000 industrial workers who worked with fiberglass found no conclusive evidence of an increased risk of cancer.
Additional information about the indoor testing initiative is available on the DOH Web site at nyc.gov/health. A comprehensive report on this testing will be available this spring. Final test results will be released to the public as soon as they become available. Results of outdoor sampling since September 11 of air, water, and dust - including sampling for asbestos and particulate matter - are posted on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) website, epa.gov, and can also be found on the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) website at nyc.gov/dep. WTC-related information can also be found at nyc.gov/health.
Information on the Project Liberty program, a statewide disaster-recovery initiative that offers free crisis counseling, education, and referral services to anyone affected by the World Trade Center disaster, is available by calling 1-800-LIFENET or 1-800-543-3638.
