@guardian: “The devastating truth is that the suffering did not end once the smoke cleared and the dust settled,” the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, told a press conference after his administration released more than 170,000 pages of municipal records involving the impact of the 9/11 attacks on air quality health, as well as the city’s response. “People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air,” he said, adding that the administration would assign staff to help people seeking to document their presence in the New York City Exposure Zone for federal health and compensation programs. This week marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington and Pennsylvania. The documents provide further evidence that city officials knew air surrounding the twin towers was toxic but misled the public into thinking it was safe, officials said.
