Almostcontinuously, the DELTA equipment registered unprecedentedclouds of “very fine ” that Perry said should be a red flag in the evaluation of rescue workers’ and residents’ exposure levels. The group found dangerous levels of sulfur and sulfur-based compounds, which often form airborne sulfuric acid. And there were high silicon readings, too, probably from pulverized glass and other office gear. They also found that the World Trade Center’s thousands ofgallons of burning oil from its heating systems gaveoffa steady vaporofnickel and vanadium, metals that doctors warn should notbe inhaled overa long time. The real problem, Perry said, came with the DELTA group’s pollution readings of the so-called ultra-fine particulates — those bits smaller than 0.001 inches in diameter that Al5 Sunday, November10, 2002 Parties for - Soe roy pes (nenatetga Is Osteoarthritis keeping you from doing the things you once enjoyed?
