Mamdani to declassify 9/11 documents revealing air quality misrepresentation

The New York Times reports that 170,000 pages of documents will be declassified, showing that health authorities misrepresented air quality after the 9/11 attacks, with asbestos traces found up to 800 meters away ten months later. This is a first-time disclosure of official records that could substantiate long-standing health complaints. The declassification is significant for accountability and public health policy, but the full content and timing remain uncertain.
