World Trade Center Environmental Contaminant Database, (WTCECD)
En database med miljødata fra New York City og New Jersey, opsamlet i tiden før og efter terrorangrebet den 11. september 2001. |
 |
Prøver inkluderer:
- outdoor air, outdoor bulk dust, indoor air, and indoor dust wipes specifically in response to the disaster by the USEPA and NYSDEC; approximately 200 parameters are present, including particulate matter mass (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), metals, and asbestos.
- air quality data reported to EPA’s Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS) data repository from fixed-site air quality monitoring stations run by local, state and federal environmental agencies from 1970 to December 31, 2004. These include ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead, particulate matter mass (TSP, PM10, PM2.5) plus parameters measured on an irregular basis which include a suite of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), particle-associated metals, and limited meteorological data.

MCEER
MCEER er en amerikansk organisation, støttet af bl.a. the National Science Foundation og det amerikanske katastrofeberedskab, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). MCEER har til formål at undersøge effekterne af jordskælv og andre katastrofer, så samfundet er bedre rustet til at forhindre skader og forebygge at de opstår.
Efter terrorangrebet undersøgte MCEER skaderne på bygningerne ved Ground Zero, og publicerede flere rapporter herom. |
