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. 517 $aWorld Trade Center 606 $aAdministrative agencies$zUnited States$xRules and practice 606 $aIndoor air pollution$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 606 $aTerrorism$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAdministrative agencies$xRules and practice. 615 0$aIndoor air pollution 615 0$aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001. 615 0$aTerrorism$xHealth aspects. 701 $aStephenson$b John B$01380816 712 02$aUnited States.$bCongress.$bSenate.$bCommittee on Environment and Public Works. 801 0$bEJB 801 1$bEJB 801 2$bLEGAL 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696130203321 996 $aWorld Trade Center$93529640 997 $aUNINA
