II. Background Information
Immediately following the September
11, 2001, terrorist attack on New York
City’s World Trade Center, many federal
agencies, including the EPA, were
called upon to focus their technical and
scientific expertise on the national
emergency. EPA, other federal agencies,
New York City and New York State
public health and environmental
authorities focused on numerous
cleanup, dust collection and ambient air
monitoring activities to ameliorate and
better understand the human health
impacts of the disaster. Detailed
information concerning the
environmental monitoring activities that
were conducted as part of this response
is available at the EPA Response to 9–
11 Web site at
https://www.epa.gov/wtc/.
In addition to environmental
monitoring, EPA efforts also included
toxicity testing of the dust, as well as
the development of a human exposure
and health risk assessment. This risk
assessment document, Exposure and
Human Health Evaluation of Airborne
Pollution from the World Trade Center
Disaster, is available on the Web at
https://www.epa.gov/ncea/wtc.htm).
Numerous additional studies by other
Federal and State agencies, universities
and other organizations have
documented impacts to both the
outdoor and indoor environments and
to human health.
While these monitoring and
assessment activities were ongoing and
the cleanup at Ground Zero itself was
occurring, EPA began planning for a
program to clean and monitor
residential apartments. From June until
December 2002, residents impacted by
WTC dust and debris in an area of about
1 mile by 1 mile south of Canal Street
were eligible to request either federallyfunded cleaning and monitoring for
airborne asbestos or monitoring of their
residences. The cleanup continued into
the summer of 2003 by which time the
EPA had cleaned and monitored 3,400
apartments and monitored 800
apartments. Detailed information on this
portion of the EPA response is also
available at https://www.epa.gov/wtc/.
A critical component of
understanding long-term human health
impacts is the establishment of health
registries. The WTC Health Registry is a
comprehensive and confidential health
survey of those most directly exposed to
the contamination resulting from the
collapse of the WTC towers. It is
intended to give health professionals a
better picture of the health
consequences of 9/11. It was established
by the Agency for Toxic Substances and
