If I remember correctly, the asbestos used in the construction was different than the stuff that is used for insulation and not the same health risk. Although it appears to be a problem when the building comes down.

From the article:

'But by Sept. 18, 2001, many New Yorkers were back in their apartments and on the job. Partly because of a press release that day from the EPA reassuring New Yorkers that "their air is safe to breathe." '

'But the EPA had no test results at all on PCBs, dioxins, or particulates in the air that can cause respiratory problems. '

If these excerpts from the article are true, then either the EPA or the White House lied. If they lied, it doesn't matter whether people should have known anyway, or worn masks or that it was for security or the economy. Nor does it matter whether terrorists or Mr. Clinton were responsible for the air quality. It is unacceptable for leaders to lie.
