New York City has announced plans to release over 170,000 pages of previously restricted documents detailing air quality data collected in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks. The records, which include measurements of pollutants and dust levels following the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, have long been sought by researchers and families affected by the disaster. Officials say the disclosure aims to provide transparency and support ongoing health studies linked to the environmental impact of the event. The move follows decades of advocacy by survivors and scientists pushing for greater access to the data.
