Have you been Diagnosed with Cancer?

Long term health effects of debris and pollutants from 911 exposure are far more serious than expected.

For years following 9/11, numerous types of cancer, as well as respiratory illnesses, have been on the rise for people exposed to the air below Canal Street in the months following the tragedy. When people saw their doctors for a persistent cough or trouble breathing, their diagnoses – and the expensive treatments – may have come as a surprise. For many, a connection to the 9/11 attack never even occurred to them.
