Asbestos is nasty stuff. Hopefully those buildings weren't old enough to still have asbestos used in them.

EPA has tested the environment in which the rescue operation is taking place. Air samples as well as dust samples have been analysed. The tests have (so far) been negative for asbestos.

Cheers!

What is asbestos? Is it that crumbly material that sometimes hangs from your ceiling?
