Watching the live coverage this morning, many Brothers digging by hand through the rubble with clouds of dust around them - and NOBODY IS WEARING A MASK. ConEd vac trucks are removing crumpled plaster, but not mitigating the dust cloud.
What could be in that plaster dust etc. that they are breathing in, and where is the safety protocols that should be in place?!!
For incidents like this, why not have on hand filters that can be attached to our facepieces, similar to what was issued at the WTC site. MSU could have cartons of these at the ready and throw them on the van.
