My colleague, Mary Alice Murphy, touched on this in yesterday’s edition of the Silver City Daily Press, but here’s data from some of the air-monitoring sites set up around Hurley for Tuesday’s demolition. Most of the trend lines appear to show an increase in the early morning prior to the demolition, with particulate levels dropping during the event and until the winds picked up later that afternoon:

    What were the dust particles comprised of? Were they asbestos? silica? lead? copper? arsenic?
