Azbest<\/a>, along with 69 other carcinogens (cancer-causing substances), has been identified by the WTC Health Program Scientific\/Technical Advisory Committee as being present in the cocktail of substances that were released into the environment when the North and South towers fell. When the towers collapsed, a cloud of dust, debris and fumes covered Lower Manhattan. Rising more than 1,000 feet into the air, it littered dust all over the region, where it settled as thick as three inches in some places. It covered everything in sight, coating everyone and everything in the area. It entered ventilation systems and found its way into apartments, homes and businesses through windows, doors and any other means. People living, working and going to school in the area could not escape its presence. For people who participated in the rescue, debris removal and clean-up efforts at the WTC site, ingestion and inhalation of these dangerous substances was virtually unavoidable.<\/p>\n More than ten years have passed since the towers fell, and mi\u0119dzyb\u0142oniak<\/a>, rak p\u0142uc<\/a>, azbestoza<\/a>, zaburzenia oddychania i wiele innych rodzaj\u00f3w chor\u00f3b p\u0142uc spowodowanych 9-11, teraz pojawiaj\u0105 si\u0119 w wyniku\u00a0nara\u017cenie na azbest<\/a> oraz inne niebezpieczne substancje, kt\u00f3re zosta\u0142y uwolnione w Nowym Jorku, Arlington i Shanksville.<\/p>\n No one knows for certain just how much asbestos was present in the WTC towers when they collapsed, though some estimates place it at approximately 400 tons. The use of asbestos in spray fireproofing was banned in New York City in 1971, while WTC construction was still underway. At that time, insulating material containing asbestos had been sprayed up to the 64th floor of the towers. Another type of insulating material was used for the remaining floors.<\/p>\n It is estimated that as many as 110,000 people may have been exposed to asbestos from the World Trade Center towers, including tower workers, local residents and first responders. In addition to this initial exposure, clean-up workers may have suffered from continued exposure. In the haste to remove debris, proper precautionary measures were not taken to protect workers from asbestos exposure. Standard asbestos abatement procedures were not followed.<\/p>\n Uznaj\u0105c potrzeb\u0119 zapewnienia pomocy finansowej i medycznej osobom dotkni\u0119tym problemami zdrowotnymi z 11 wrze\u015bnia, James Zadroga Ustawa o zdrowiu i odszkodowaniach z 11 wrze\u015bnia (ustawa Zadrogi)<\/a> was signed into law on January 2, 2011.
