Did Your Loved One Work Near Ground Zero?
The 10th anniversary of 9/11 has past, but memories of that horrible day are still fresh in the minds of many Americans. Adding to the awareness of 9/11 are recent revelations that several federal agencies - including the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - systematically suppressed information about the health risks associated with contaminated air around Ground Zero in the weeks following the 9/11 attacks. Released documents show federal bureaucrats encouraging New Yorkers and rescue workers to return to Manhattan's financial district, despite toxic air quality.
Last year, Congress approved more than $4 billion to treat and compensate people with health issues stemming from exposure to Ground Zero's airborne hazards. One of the most important of those issues is asbestos exposure. Originally described as slightly above normal, a joint EPA-OSHA press release now reveals post-9/11 samples contained 2.1 to 3.3% asbestos - or between 200 and 300% above the normal trigger standard.
Fears | Nachawati legal experts are defending Texans who worked in lower Manhattan in the wake of 9/11, either in their customary jobs or as firefighters and rescue workers. These recently released documents provide persuasive evidence of the health risks your loved one may have faced and the potentially fatal illnesses, including asbestosis and mesothelioma, that they may confront as a result.
