NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
• DEP’s Emergency Response Unit tested for volatile organic compounds, metal and acid gasses using direct field.
• DEP’s Division of Emergency Response and Technical Assistance (DERTA) performed air monitory at ground zero from 9/12 - 10/5/01 using field instruments. They tested for photoionizable organic compounds, flame ionizable organic compounds, carbon monoxide, dihydrogen sulfide, oxygen for explosive atmospheric conditions, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, ammonia and freon 22. All results were background or non-detectable levels.
• DEP’s DERTA also established air monitoring in the surrounding boroughs from 9/13-11/16/01. Air monitoring for volatile organic compounds, acid gasses and metal were performed daily at these locations:
Manhattan - Central Park & Lenox Avenue Queens - Broadway & 3 Street Bronx - 138* Street & 3rd Avenue Brooklyn - Berry Street & North 11* Street Atlantic Avenue & Smith Street Staten Island - Bay Street & Victory Boulevard
All results were below regulatory levels.
• While there are Federal and State standards for selected particles in outdoor air and the work place, there are no standards for particles in a residential setting. This is because of the range of activities that introduce particles into the air (i.e., smoking, cooking, candle & incense burning, and cleaning). These activities, coupled with a home’s ventilation system’s status, will determine airborne particle concentration in a home at a specific time.
