5 people die of cancer in NYC and this is cause for alarm??
Whatever.
This was a priority for Hillary Clinton when she was running for reelection to the Senate. Just another broken promise along the campaign trail, I guess. I’ll bet she touts it as one of her accomplishments as a Senator though.
I would never work in that crap without a good mask.
I probably would have died of asthma if I had been any where around there. But this seems like a very few cancer deaths when you consider how many people worked and lived around that dust heap for months and years while it was being cleaned up. The MSM is always looking for tragedies to write about.
Amid the pollutants within the giant pile of 1.8m tons of debris and the surrounding air were 90,000 litres of jet fuel from the two stricken planes, about 1,000 tons of asbestos that was used in the construction of the Twin Towers, pulverised lead from computers, mercury and highly carcinogenic by-products from the burning of plastics and chlorinated chemicals.
