NEW YORK ENVIRONMENTAL LAW & JUSTICE PROJECT http://www.NYenviroLA W.org A non-profit public interest organization which counsels and represents groups and individual concerns with the preservation and improvement of community environmental conditions. It is possible for citizens to protect themselves and their communities from dangerous and burdensome environmental hazards through knowledge and effective -- affordable legal avenues. We believe that environmental justice should be available to all people regardless of race, gender or age. By utilizing our "commando" law techniques we are able to effectively promote the interests of the environmental community.

We, after much scientific study and sampling into the multitude of carcinogens and toxics released into the environmental due to the WTC disaster, require that the surrounding area be designated a EPA SUPERFUND Site. We feel that this is necessary in light of the fact that each of these chemicals can be most hazardous by themselves but since there are such large quantities and so many of them combined into a superheated form and dispersed over a large densely metropolitan area as an extremely fine particulate probably has accentuated its toxicity and possibility for a synergistic effect. The lack of data or research into this magnitude of exposure simply does not exist due to the fact that such circumstances have never been encountered. By declaring the area to be an EPA SUPERFUND site, the onus to prove safety will be established and appropriate methods and procedures will be federally enforced. The facts are plain and simple - extremely hazardous materials became airborne when the World Trade Center disintegrated and thus could pose a MOST SERIOUS health threat to people who live and work in the downtown area, not just Ground Zero. These particles and gasses obey the laws of physics and thus spread around the downtown area and were not confined to the immediate vicinity of the WTC area. Public trust in government has diminished as workers and residents have become sick and required medical attention. It is time that the various governmental agencies at the federal, state, and local level do whatever is necessary, including a medical registry, to protect the public health and safety and thereby regain the public's trust.
