The collapse
of the World Trade Center towers on
September 11, 2001 generated a vast and
complex mixture of air pollutants.
Questions were raised immediately about
respiratory and other health
consequences of exposure to the tainted
air. Research is ongoing into the
extent to which health may be
compromised in the long
term.
