New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records detailing air quality conditions after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to CNN.
The documents indicate that city officials were aware of serious contamination concerns around Ground Zero while the public was repeatedly reassured about safety. Records include environmental testing data, air quality reports and internal communications concerning potential health risks and possible legal liability.
The release follows years of demands from survivors and first responders for greater disclosure. Advocacy group 9/11 Health Watch had sued the city seeking access to the records.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks, while thousands of survivors and responders have since suffered or died from related illnesses. The documents are being released ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
