Indoor Air and Dust Test Results EPA conducted indoor air monitoring and indoor dust wipe sampling in the weeks after the collapse. This EPA indoor air monitoring (prior to the FEMA-funded residential cleanup) was limited primarily to testing for asbestos in buildings. EPA’s dust wipe sampling tested for metals, PCBs, and dioxin.
On September 13, 2001, 14 air samples were collected from 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and Chase Manhattan Plaza, and analyzed for asbestos. All samples were analyzed by TEM and the results converted to PCM equivalent readings in fibers per cubic centimeter (free). One of the 14 samples exceeded the New York City standard for asbestos clearance of .01 free (see Table K-1). Table K-1; Indoor Air Test Results from September 13,2001 PCM Analysis TEM Analysis

NOTES; [1] = sample volume for TEM (AH ERA method) is 1200 liters for 25 mm filter [2] = fibers per millimeter squared [3] = structures equal to or greater than 0.5 micrometers and less than or equal to 5 micrometers in length [4] = structures greater than 5 micrometers in length
During the period September 17 to November 3,2001, EPA collected dust wipe samples within four buildings: Stuyvesant High School, Public School 234, Manhattan Borough Community College, and the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The samples were analyzed for various metals at all locations, while at Stuyvesant and the Community College samples were also collected and analyzed for PCBs and dioxin. Fifty-four percent of the sample results were below the minimum
