NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

DERTA’s activities at WTC attack:

As first responders, DERTA immediately arrived at the WTC incident prior to the collapse of the towers. Following the recovery of personnel who were buried in underground areas following the collapse, DERTA immediately began sampling bulk debris and conducted air sampling to identify hazardous constituents and zones of contamination. Air sampling results obtained on 9/11 by DERTA were used to define the exclusion zone (areas of contamination). On 9/12, air sampling for asbestos continued and additional air monitoring for volatile organic compounds, acid gases and toxic metals was implemented at the impact area, surrounding perimeters, and in the five boroughs.

DERTA coordinated and supervised clean-up activities; identified areas of clearance; provided technical and regulatory expertise to OEM and other environmental agencies; performed confined space entries with FDNY and PA police into unknown ambient atmospheric conditions in sublevel areas below the collapsed towers to identify chemical and toxic atmospheric conditions; examined unknown drums and containers uncovered in rubble; and coordinated investigations with private and public property owners to provide technical and regulatory advisement on proper cleanup processes.
