New Facts: Mamdani Releases 170,000 9/11 Air Quality Files
New York City opened a public portal with nearly 170,000 previously undisclosed documents on air quality after the Sept. 11 attacks. The release comes nearly 25 years after the towers fell.
The files include monitoring results from soon after the attacks that logged toxic conditions around Ground Zero while officials publicly played down health risks. Asbestos was detected in nearly every location tested near the site, and first responders who rushed in were likely exposed to dangerous toxins.
