One of the first scientists to take samples from Ground Zero after
the destruction of the Twin Towers, Lioy shares his personal and
professional perspectives on the World Trade Center dust. What was
in the material that rained down after the disintegration of these
buildings? Why did officials wrongly choose to focus on the release
of asbestos? How did the size of the dust particles influence the
development of the World Trade Center Cough among rescue workers
and other New Yorkers? When were respirators used on site and what
changes should be made to respirator design now? Dust answers
these, and many other, questions about the environmental effects,
public policy initiatives, health outcomes and scientific findings
that played a critical role in the aftermath of September 11th.
Beyond providing insightful analysis of what happened then, this
book details the significant steps we need to take in order to
better prepare for future catastrophes.
