This Sierra Club report extensively documents how the Bush administration's reckless disregard of 9/11 toxic hazards poses long-term threats to rescue and cleanup workers, as well as bystanders present.
"Picking up where the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Inspector General's report left off, "Pollution and Deception at Ground Zero" takes the most comprehensive look at well-known, and little-known, health impacts of the attacks of 9/11 and, most importantly, how the Bush administration's mistakes in the aftermath are in danger of being institutionalized as policy for the handling of any future attacks on Americans."
