TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Associated Press Aug 18:

The Bush administration showed "reckless disregard" for public health after the World Trade Center collapse by failing to warn people of the health risks of breathing toxic smoke and dust at ground zero, an environmental group said Wednesday.

Hundreds of people were sickened because of mistakes made by the government during the recovery and cleanup effort following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, the Sierra Club said in a report on the environmental and health impacts of the collapse.

"The federal government should have a duty to protect the public from the aftermath of an attack such as this," said Suzanne Mattei, the report's author. "What happened instead is that the harm was prolonged."
[...]
EPA failed at least a dozen times to change its safety assurances about the air quality at ground zero, even after it became clear that people were becoming sick, and in some cases, did not even check for toxic hazards.

Last year, the EPA's internal watchdog found the agency, at the urging of White House officials, gave misleading assurances there was no health risk from the dust in the air after the towers' collapse. Seven days after the attack, the EPA announced that the air near the site was safe to breathe, but the agency did not have enough information to make such a guarantee, the EPA's report found.

Sierra Club also cited a little known study in the July 2002 Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine that compared the health of federal employees working five blocks north of ground zero to their colleagues in Dallas.

The study found that employees at the Department of Health and Human Services who were indirectly affected by the trade center collapse "were more than likely to report constitutional symptoms" such as eye, nose and throat irritation and headache, than those in Dallas.

Two aspects to this.

The first is, "so what is knew"? A 1989 "censored" newspaper article quotes an EPA official as saying, "75% of the Typical American's Exposure to Toxic Chemical's Occurs Indoors Much of which occurs in their own homes. Seattle Times - 1989 - Article title: YOU'RE MUCH CLOSER TO SOURCES OF INDOOR POLLUTION, EPA WARNS "simple steps to minimize exposure", posted at>

The second issue is "what about the depleted uranium that the jets use as counter weights" ? Another "censored story" is that are vets are ill with the same symptoms TODAY, in the Middle East.

Mr/s. Anonymous:

Interestingly, as I understand it, though Boeing 747s have DU counterweights, 757 and 767s do not.

Thus, if there is DU at at the WTC site, then the commerical airliners we were told crashed there DID NOT. Some other kind of craft did.

Of course, Sierra Club did not test for DU.

Tests at the Pentagon have yielded DU, however.
