in the Millette and Hays study. All of the other Millette and Hays resuspensicn factors have also
been increased by 10 for the WTC asbestos dusts. Table 2 provides the actual resuspension
factor found by testing for WTC dusts under passive conditions, along with the predicted air
levels under a variety of activities with the modified lesuspension factors, called the WTC-
Factors:
