9/11 Caused Digestive System Cancer Including in the Esophagus, Colon, Rectum
Every New Yorker remembers the massive dust cloud that spread from the site of the World Trade Center when the buildings fell on 9/11. That dust, along with the fumes from the months of fires at the WTC site, covered all of lower Manhattan until at least the end of May 2002. Breathing this toxic dust over the days and many months has since damaged the health of the first responders who went to the site for the rescue and recovery operations along with the New Yorker’s who went back downtown to their jobs, homes, and school.
