Impact/Purpose:
The World Trade Center (WTC) collapse and the subsequent cleanup released a great deal of particulate matter into the environment. This dust included building materials, such as man-made vitreous and asbestos fibers. A significant quantity of this fiber-laden dust penetrated into buildings in the surrounding area. As these fibers resuspend from surfaces as a result of human activities, and as these resuspended fibers may translocate indoors, a study was designed to better assess potential exposures to these fibers due to resuspension.
