Hazardous asbestos fibers at the WTC exposed more than 110,000 people to the dangerous material; this includes 80,000 tower workers, 30,000 area residents and nearly 4,000 first responders. Asbestos exposure is directly linked to mesothelioma cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.
I'm a New York construction worker who was working on a roof a few blocks from the WTC on the morning of 9/11. One week later I returned to Ground Zero and helped with all the rigging and safety netting on 1 Liberty, Century 21, The Federal Building, and the Hilton Millenium Hotel.
