LM, Washington, D.C. 20548.Includes bibliographical references.The September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) turned Lower Manhattan into a disaster site. As the towers collapsed, Lower Manhattan was blanketed with building debris and combustible materials. This complex mixture created a major concern: that thousands of residents and workers in the area would now be exposed to known hazards in the air and in the dust, such as asbestos, lead, glass fibers, and pulverized concrete. In May 2002, New York City formally requested federal assistance to address indoor contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted an indoor clean and test program from 2002 to 2003. Several years later, after obtaining the views of advisory groups, including its Inspector General and an expert panel, EPA announced a second test and clean program in December 2006. Program implementation is to begin later in 2007, more than 5 years after the disaster.World Trade Center Administrative agenciesUnited StatesRules and practiceIndoor air pollutionNew York (State)New YorkSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001TerrorismHealth aspectsAdministrative agenciesRules and practice.Indoor air pollutionSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001.TerrorismHealth aspects.Stephenson John B1380816United States.Congress.Senate.Committee on Environment and Public Works.EJBEJBLEGALGPOBOOK9910696130203321World Trade Center3529640UNINA
