Lecture/Discussion: Toxic Fallout from the World Trade Center Catastrophe
When the World Trade Center towers fell, hazardous materials were released into the atmosphere,
and the remaining dust contains carcinogens, including asbestos. The environmental aftermath has
raised serious questions about who will be helped and who will be hurt as Downtown NYC is cleaned
up and rebuilt. Who will benefit from new construction on the site, will it harm the environment, and
will it meet job safety standards? With Paul Bartlett from the Center for Biology of Natural Systems
at Queens College, Jonathan Bennett from NYCOSH and Joel Kupferman, the Environmental Justice
Chair of the National Lawyers Guild - NYC Chapter, and the executive director of the NY
Environmental Law Project.
Presented by New York Union for Radical Political Economics and the Brecht Forum at the Brecht
Forum, 122 West 27th St., 10th fioor, 212-242-4201 $6/$8/$10 (sliding scale)
