EPA Lied; People Died

As I've posted before, when we visited New York City and Ground Zero three weeks after the attacks on September 11, 2001, we noticed a remarkable odor and noticeable particulates floating in the air around lower Manhattan. No surprise to read again today that the EPA lied about the health effects to those rescue teams and others working in the vicinity in the aftermath of the attacks.

Here's today's evidence.

The letter, written by Dr. Cate Jenkins and obtained by RAW STORY, claims that EPA-funded research on the toxicity of breathable alkaline dust at the site “falsified pH results” to make the substance appear benign, when it was, in reality, corrosive enough to cause first responders and other workers in lower Manhattan to later lose pulmonary functions and, in some cases, to die.

Our government at work yet again.
