Source: LATimes.Com
Officials from the City of New York have announced that while there were small amounts of asbestos found in the debris from last week's steampipe explosion, the amounts were quite small and they did not expect any negative health effects from the explosion. Mayor Bloomberg assured the public that the air around the blast area was free of asbestos and that the risk of exposure from the asbestos on the ground was quite low.
The area around the site remains closed pending clean-up and disposal of the debris.
