Subject: NIOSH Summary Results
At the request of the Department of Health, a team of industrial hygienists from the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a broad-based assessment of air
quality on the debris pile at the site of the WTC disaster. The first samples were collected on
September 18®’ and the results were used to confirm protective equipment requirements and to
revise work procedures. A summary of those results has just become available and is attached.
This document provides insight into air quality at Ground Zero in the early days of the city’s
response.
