(Richmond, IN)--The EPA has received some final air sampling data.  At a property where the EPA removed debris from the My Way Trading fire, agency contractors took air samples as the mowed the lawn and used a leaf blower.  Throughout a recent two-day air sampling process, the EPA’s results showed no asbestos.  They’ve determined that once debris is removed from a yard, it is safe to resume outdoor activities.  So far, debris has been collected from 112 properties in Indiana and Ohio.
