The EPA also will begin cleaning and testing dust and air samples in a residential building near Ground Zero that has not yet reopened.
Mears, the EPA spokeswoman, said the agency would assess the cleaning techniques and determine the most effective ways to clean contaminated apartments. A decision would then then be made if tenants and local contractors should clean residential buildings, or if the EPA should assume that role.

"There is so much confusion, and everyone is trying to recover from the most cataclysmic event that ever happened in this country. The goal is that people will have confidence that their homes and businesses are safe. We will determine what is the absolute best thing for the people in lower Manhattan and we will do it."
