“…There are also naturally occurring sources in and around Manhattan. Chidester and Shride [37] noted that there is a large chrysotile deposit in Staten Island. Fibre from such deposits can therefore serve as a source for some of the chrysotile naturally found in the air around Manhattan [38] and within lungs of New York City residents [39].…”

Environmental monitoring was immediately instituted at Ground Zero (GZ) after the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC). However, nearby residences were not assessed. To address this, a GZ elected official task force requested an independent residential survey to be done. Its findings, whilst based upon relatively few samples, are still probably the first and most detailed produced to date. Overall, residents do not appear to be at risk of long-term, asbestos - or metal — related disease but their homes must still be cleaned professionally to eliminate highly irritating, aerosolized dusts. Respiratory protec tion would eliminate the small chance of long-term dis ease in unprotected cleaners. The risks to GZ workers represent a special case and are discussed in detail.
