At 115th Street and Madison Avenue, police had put up barricades and were diverting pedestrians, many of whom were wearing particle masks, away from the site of the accident.
Wear was assessed gravimetrically and wear particles were analyzed.

During the deterioration stage, machine components tend to wear out and wear particles are produced.
In practice, wear particles flowing in the machine lubrication circuit are inspected [3, 4].
When the impact load was set as 20 N, worn particles are observed on the plastically deformed surface.
Wear was determined gravimetrically and wear particles were analyzed.
These include a pronounced macrophage response to wear particles, a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, and tissue necrosis.
Macrophages formed a significant component of the inflammatory response to wear particles in periprosthetic soft tissues.
Due to their small size, numerous nanometre-sized UHMWPE wear particles may be disseminated throughout the body and UHMWPE wear particles have previously been found in patient lymph nodes, spleen and liver [31 33].
Of the entire cellular population in the foreign body and chronic inflammation to wear particles, macrophages comprise 60 80% [ 10- 13].
