New York State Assembly Hearing November 26, 2001
Good morning. I am Dr. Jessica Leighton, Assistant Commissioner for Environmental Risk Assessment at the New York City Department of Health. I appreciate having the opportunity to be here today, and I am pleased that the State Assembly is holding these hearings. New Yorkers, especially those that live, work, or visit lower Manhattan, are understandably concerned about the potential health impacts of the environmental conditions resulting from the World Trade Center disaster.
I, myself, am particularly aware of this because I, too, work and live in the community and have a child attending one of the local elementary schools in the neighborhood.
The environmental impact issues are complex and highly technical, and it is important that we take every opportunity to explain more fully how we are monitoring and assessing the safety of the environment and to communicate the implication of these findings.
So I am very glad to be here today.
