The environmental and public health nightmare that began in New York City on 9/11 was unprecedented in it’s nature. The spread of toxic dust has resulted in hundreds of cases of firemen, rescue workers, police, and residents suffering from significant respiratory symptoms. The “WTC cough” has caused serious and persistent disabilities with an expected reduced life expectancy. So far we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. In the face of this calamity the Giuliani and Bush Administrations have responded with lies and deception.

Joel is a leading environmental attorney. He is on the Board of the NYC chapter of the National Lawyers Guild and is the head of the New York Environmental Law and Justice Project. He has brought a class action lawsuit in the Federal Court in behalf of New York City workers and residents in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn against the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to protect people from the poor air quality in the days and months following the World Trade Center attacks.
