MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 19,2001
SUBJECT: ■ Wipe sampling for asbestos In Lower Manhattan ■ Projection of airborne levels from settled WTC dusts ■ Estimation of Increased cancer risks based on various WTC dust exposure scenarios
FROM: Cate Jenkins, Ph.D. Waste Identification Branch (Mail Code 5304 W) Hazardous Waste Identification Division
TO: Affected Parties and Responsible Officials
The following memorandum provides information on taking wipe samples of settled dusts inside buildings in Lower Manhattan that resulted fi-om the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC). Studies are discussed which correlate the amount of asbestos that will become aiibome (resuspended) because of activities such as sweeping, athletic activities, etc. Information is provided on the cumulative exposures (total doses) found by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to be associated with asbestos-related health effects, and examples are given how to use this information to calculate doses of asbestos from the WTC disaster. Finally, a brief section explains the different methods for analyzing and reporting asbestos levels.
The analyses, projections, and opinions in this memorandum represent my own professional judgement and are not intended to be construed as any official position or recommendation by the U.S. Environmoatal Protection Agency. This memorandum is not intended as any final risk assessment risks from continued and past exposures to asbestos, and has not been reviewed by EPA. The data is too incomplete at this time for any complete projection of risks, and there are too many methods available for performing such projections. My attempt was intended only as a point of discussion prior to more rigorous assessments.
