9/11 Survivors Are Still Getting Sick Decades Later: “Am I Next?”

This is just anecdotal stories requiring a grain of salt.<p>Now, many of the anecdotes are about people who had health problems close soon after the incident, and those health problems being blamed on the exposure is reasonable.<p>There is very little about anyone who was completely fine until 2020; and those situations are hard to prove to 9&#x2F;11.<p>E.g. Daniel Foley:<p>&gt; &quot;Daniel’s annual medical screenings never showed ailments until the cancer was diagnosed in 2019, four days after he crawled into a burning Bronx building to rescue two children, which earned him the Fire Department’s Medal of Honor, Ms. Foley said.&quot;<p>He was still entering burning buildings in 2019, but we&#x27;re sure the cancer was due to activity in 2001?<p>In spite of negative medical screenings 2001-2018?<p>These are cherry-picked cases; you can&#x27;t just locate people in the intersection of the set &quot;worked at ground zero&quot; and the set &quot;has health problems today or has died&quot; and use their very existence to make causality claims.

I remember reading in the immediate aftermath that the area was declared safe enough from contaminants to work in. A nice fairy tale.

Has anyone done a chemical analysis of a sample of 9&#x2F;11 dust to have a detailed breakdown of the components?
