If you wanted to know what it smelt like at the WTC for months after just mixed them together and add a fine dust of who knows what.
Several people from the ME's office where I used to work actually did fly to New York to help catalogue and recover human remains from ground zero. I wanted to go as well but at that time I was helping take care of my father and my family needed me at home. With the normal caseload at our office I don't think they could have spared very many forensic techs anyway.
