Dear Ms.
On October 15, 2001, I.H, Consultants, Inc. (IHC) conducted a walk through of your
apartment (at your request) in order to investigate Environmental Health issues in your
apartment as a result of WTC collapse on September 11, 2001.
During our walk through, settled dust was observed throughout the apartment and in the
balcony. Please refer to the attached photographs. Eastern side of the apartment sustained
the maximum damage. Dust had settled on all of the household articles such as carpets,
chairs, beds, books, toys and such. Oust was noticeable on all surfaces but mostly on
horizontal surfaces. Dust deposits on window exteriors were considerable (approx. 1-2
inches).
An acrid smell was noticeable throughout the apartment.
Window blinds were found to be very dusty.
Samples of settied dust were cotlected from locations with considerable dust deposits and
analyzed for asbestos and lead content. A sample of a fibrous bundle (suspected to be

analytical data.
The following is a discussion of our observations, analysis results and recommendations.
