Inhalable (< 100pm)’ breathing ht., I/O To determine relative amounts of each fraction present ,
thoracic (<10pm)’ time-weighted, and to have each fraction analyzed for silica, gypsum,
respirable (<4pm)’ air asbestos, mica, and calcite to qualitatively determine
potential hazards.
Respirable breathing ht., I/O Known component of concrete, evidence of
crystalline silica time-weighted, presence in some settled dust samples, known
air inhalation carcinogen.
pH" dust I/O Concrete has a high pH, if dust has a high pH, it may be
contributing to reported symptoms of ENT irritation
Asbestos" dust I/O Determine if asbestos is present in dust
gypsum, mica, dust I/O Associated with building materials (concrete,
calcite" drywall) and known to be irritating to ENT
magnesium dust I/O May act as a tracer for WTC-related dust, levels found in
metals analysis of settled dust from 16,000-29,000 ppm
* results will be used to better understand the potential for ENT and respiratory irritation, and possibly for determining the possibility of acute/chronic health
problems. Results will assist in providing information/recommendations to the public (e.g., what is contributing to irritation, how to reduce
exposures)
" to assist in characterizing dust that can become airborne (re-intrainment of settled dust that may be the source of continuing air contamination),
and to make recommendations for outdoor dust remediation
