NYC mayor: 9/11 air quality documents show officials lied about asbestos risk

Newly released documents reportedly show that New York officials misled the public about toxic air quality after the 9/11 attacks, with asbestos found 'nearly everywhere' around Ground Zero. The mayor's statement escalates a long-running accountability issue, but the documents' provenance and full contents remain unverified. This matters as it could trigger legal claims and policy reviews regarding post-9/11 health compensation.
