NYC Mayor Mamdani releases 9/11 records showing officials misled New Yorkers about air quality around Ground Zero

New York City officials have released over 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records concerning air quality following the September 11, 2001, attacks. These documents suggest that officials misled New Yorkers by repeatedly assuring them that the air around Ground Zero was safe to breathe during the months following the World Trade Center collapse. The newly available records raise significant questions about the accuracy of the information provided to the public regarding environmental safety at the site.
