>FOR RELEASE: Monday, March 25,2002 > (#02114) New York, New York - Today the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with New York City and other federal and state agencies, announced additional actions to address outdoor and indoor air quality. As part of the overall effort to continue to protect air quality, DEP will remove residual debris from rooftops and facades with EPA's guidance. OSHA will work in a coordinated effort with the City and EPA to ensure the safety and health of the workers performing this cleaning.
EPA and New York City will expand the program to remove residual debris from rooftops and facades around the World Trade Center site. In addition, agencies will work to build on an indoor air study conducted in November and December. These actions are a result of the collaborative efforts of the EPA Administrator Christie Whitman's Task Force on Indoor Air and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Lower Manhattan Air Quality Task Force.
"Actions speak louder than words, and these actions will help increase confidence about outdoor and indoor air quality," said Jane Kenny, EPA Regional Administrator. "We have been working hand-in-hand with the city to resolve the public's health concerns."
"I am extremely pleased that EPA continues to work with the City to address concerns regarding air quality in Lower Manhattan," said incoming DEP Commissioner Christopher Ward.
Tests conducted since September 11th have indicated that there is no evidence of significant long-term health risks to residents and ofBce workers from the air quality in Lower Manhattan. Inspectors from the City and EPA have surveyed area rooftops and facades identifying buildings where residual debris remains. As removal of debris from the World Trade Center site nears completion, City, State and Federal agencies are committed to continuing to protect and improve the downtown environment.
City, state and federal health and environmental agencies are working collaboratively to continue to assess the cleaning that was conducted and determine testing criteria. Building on earlier
