New York City has launched an online portal providing public access to previously restricted records related to the toxic conditions at Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks. The documents detail environmental hazards faced by first responders and recovery workers, including exposure to dangerous substances like asbestos and heavy metals. Researchers and advocates say the information could offer critical insights into long-term health impacts for those involved in the cleanup. The portal aims to increase transparency about the risks encountered during the recovery efforts.
