Yeah. I don't actually know what you want from me. My statement was based on several guys I worked with, who went to NYC immediately after to participate in ground zero search and rescue. They are all having some pretty serious health issues now, including cancer.
is unfortunate that many of the people at WTC site in day/weeks/months after are suffering - it was the dust which was
a witch's brew of pulverized concrete, drywall, glass, metal fragments (lead, cadinium, nickel and other toxic substanes)
with smoke from burning plastics . The burnt plastics generated toxic smoke of some 2000 organic compounds
including dioxins, furans and other chlorinated organic substances. Inhaling this stuff was equal to snorting drain cleaner
as was so alkaline. The toxic smoke contain many cancer causing compounds
Not radiation - just toxic dust/smoke
