During this period, over 1200 bulk and air samples were collected to estimate or characterize workers\u2019 occupational exposures. Samples were collected and analyzed for asbestos, carbon monoxide (CO), chlorodifluoromethane (Freon<jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup> 22), diesel exhaust, hydrogen sulfide, inorganic acids, mercury and other metals, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, respirable particulate not otherwise regulated (PNOR), respirable crystalline silica, total PNOR, and volatile organic compounds. Exposures to most of these potential hazards did not exceed NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limits or Occupational Safety and Health Administration Permissible Exposure Limits. However, one torch cutter was overexposed to cadmium and another worker (and possibly three others) was overexposed to CO. The elevated cadmium and CO levels were the result of workers using oxy-acetylene cutting torches and gasoline-powered cutting saws. Recommendations were made to ensure adequate ventilation and worker understanding when using these tools and, where possible, to substitute rechargeable, battery-powered cutting saws for gasoline-powered ones. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1191\/0748233701th112oa","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,2,13]],"date-time":"2003-02-13T01:49:26Z","timestamp":1045100966000},"page":"247-253","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Occupational exposures during the World Trade Center disaster response"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Kenneth M","family":"Wallingford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 4676 Columbia Parkway (R-11), Cincinnati, Ohio 45226, USA,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin M","family":"Snyder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 4676 Columbia Parkway (R-11), Cincinnati, Ohio 45226, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists","author":"ACGIH"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Laboratory accreditation program","author":"AIHA","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb3","first-page":"1105","volume":"49","author":"CDC","year":"2000","journal-title":"Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"1","volume":"51","author":"CDC","year":"2002","journal-title":"Morbidityand Mortality Weekly Report"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"Method for the determination of asbestos in bulk building materials","author":"EPA","year":"1993"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Compendium of methods for the determination of toxic organic compounds in ambient air","author":"EPA","year":"1999"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Federal Register: 40 CFR 745 lead, identification of dangerous levels of lead, final rule","author":"EPA","year":"2001"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"NIOSH manual of analytical methods","author":"NIOSH","year":"1994"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"NIOSH alert: preventing carbon monoxide poisoning from small gasoline-powered engines and tools","author":"NIOSH","year":"1996"},{"key":"atypb10","volume-title":"NIOSH pocket guide to chemical hazards","author":"NIOSH","year":"1997"},{"key":"atypb11","volume-title":"Suggested guidance for supervisors at disaster rescue sites","author":"NIOSH","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"Toxic and hazardous substances, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z","author":"OSHA","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb13","volume-title":"Environmental studies of the World Trade Center area after the September 11, 2001 attack","author":"USGS","year":"2002"}],"container-title":["Toxicology and Industrial Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/0748233701th112oa","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/0748233701th112oa","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T08:48:16Z","timestamp":1740818896000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1191\/0748233701th112oa"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5-10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1191\/0748233701th112oa"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1191\/0748233701th112oa","relation":{},"ISSN":["0748-2337","1477-0393"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0748-2337","type":"print"},{"value":"1477-0393","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,6]]}}}
