Agencies finding no significant health hazards at disaster site
The EPA and OSHA have taken hundreds of samples since September 11 to monitor environmental conditions at the World Trade Center site and nearby areas in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey, and have found no evidence of any significant public health hazard to people beyond the immediate World Trade Center area.
The agencies announced Wednesday that they are providing the public with extensive environmental monitoring data in response to requests for more detailed information. EPA and OSHA are making the results of environmental and occupational sampling available on their Web sites, www.epa.gov and www.osha.gov. They'll continue to post additional data as it becomes available.
