5.12 Complexities
The interpretation of results from this study is complicated by several factors. This was a non controlled, field study. The WTC dust material is not homogeneous; in EPA’s ambient WTC settled dust bulk sampling only 35 percent of the samples contained greater than one percent asbestos. The number of completely or partially uncleaned buildings available and willing to participate in the study was very limited. Thus, in the selected building, units varied in the amount of baseline contamination, and results of baseline testing were not available prior to the assignment and initiation of the first set of cleaning protocols. Therefore, some cleaning methods (Scope A, IB and 2B) were only tested on units with lower levels of contamination. Therefore, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the ability of these methods to remove heavy contamination. It was not possible to make every comparison between methods and the level of contamination. In addition, a large number of cleaning methods were tested, given the number of units available for pilot cleaning. This limited the number of times each method could be tested, and makes the overall results more susceptible to fluctuations due to extreme data points that may represent rare, unusual conditions. Variation in the types of sampling conducted pre- and post-cleaning events make it difficult to compare certain indices of contamination to different cleaning methods.
