The Toxic Clouds of 9/11: A Looming Health Disaster

Almost 3,000 people died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. How many more will die from the toxic exposures engendered by the World Trade Center collapse and fires? The media has recently reported several 9/11-related deaths, and thousands of New Yorkers are now chronically ill with problems that include severe asthma, lung disease, gastrointestinal symptoms, unusual memory loss, rashes, and joint and muscle. pain.
