Study: 9/11 WTC dust sickened residents years later
"Several years after dust from the World Trade
Center twin towers found its way into thousands of homes and nearly
every crevice in lower Manhattan, area residents still suffered health
problems, according to a new study.
People living in homes damaged after 2001's Trade Center attacks were
more likely to report respiratory illness or disease years later, when
compared with people whose homes were not damaged, according to a recent
analysis of World Trade Center Health Registry data."This study highlights the magnitude of the 9/11 attacks by showing that people exposed to dust in their homes continued to have respiratory problems even five to six years after the fact," said study author Dr. Vinicius Antao, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, in a press release..."
Recently, singer Donna Summer (according to TMZ) says the debris/dust from 911 may have caused her lung cancer. They claimed she was living in the area at the time.
..who knows?
