tests, EPA will conduct field work to assess cleanup techniques and provide information for ongoing
cleaning. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, with support from the New York
City Department of Health and EPA, is planning to expand the indoor air study conducted in December
2001.
As these projects are developed, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will fund
components that are eligible under its programs. As the agency responsible for coordinating federal
assistance in support of the city’s long term recovery efforts, FEMA is working closely with all
concerned agencies.
Both the EPA and New York City Task Forces will work cooperatively to continue to protect air
quality. The Lower Manhattan Air Quality Hotline (212-221-8635) will continue to be the principal
point of information dissemination to businesses, residents and visitors regarding air quality and
environmental issues in and around the World Trade Center site. The City's Task Force will also
coordinate additional community outreach and local initiatives as part of the broader effort to build
public confidence in the downtown environment.
For more information, call the City’s Lower Manhattan Air Quality Hotline at 212-221-8635 between
11:00 am and 7:00 pm Monday through Friday. In addition, information can be found on EPA’s web
