    About the Book

    Edit

    During the September 11 attacks, the collapse of the twin towers emitted a cloud of dust containing a number of toxic particles including asbestos. The people most affected by this toxic mix were the fire fighters, police officers, cleaners and volunteers. They worked the sites often with little to no protection at all, in the rubble or the neighboring buildings. Seven years on, a rough estimate of the casualties of this toxic gas is estimated at around 70 000 persons”.

    The repercussions of such a tragedy were not only economic in nature but also had a sanitary consequences. A lot of victims have no access to Medicare or other forms of medical insurance and to top it off they received no aid from the United States government. The numbers of people crippled with debt or in precarious economic predicaments keeps rising.


    Lors des attaques du 11 Septembre 2001 la chute des deux tours jumelles a dégagé un nuage de poussière contenant de nombreuses particules toxiques dont la plus connue est l’amiante.
    Les personnes les plus touchées par la toxicité de cette poussière sont les pompiers, policiers, agents de nettoyage et les volontaires ayant travaillé, souvent sans aucune protection, dans les décombres ou dans les immeubles voisins.
    Sept ans après, le nombre de victimes de cet air toxique est d’environ 70000 personnes.

    Les répercussions de cette catastrophe chimique ne sont pas seulement sanitaires mais s'avèrent être aussi économiques. Nombreuses victimes sont dépourvues de sécurité sociale et n’ont pas reçu d’aide de la part du gouvernement. Le nombre de malades criblé de dettes ou en grande difficulté économique ne cesse d’augmenter.

    Ce reportage met en lumière, à sa manière, les effets environnementaux du 11 septembre sur la population locale. Une courte radiographie du New York post 11 Septembre, celui des heros d’une fois, les oubliées d’aujourd’hui.












    Nel corso degli attentati dell’11 Settembre 2001, la caduta delle torri gemelle ha sollevato un’immensa nube di polvere contenente numerose tipologie di particelle tossiche tra cui l’amianto è la più nota.
    Le persone maggiormente colpite da questa nube tossica sono state i pompieri, i poliziotti, gli operatori ecologici e i volontari che hanno lavorato, spesso senza alcuna protezione, tra le macerie o negli edifici adiacenti.
    A sette anni di distanza le persone ancora vittime di questa nube sono circa 70.000.

    Le ripercussioni di questa catastrofe chimica sono non solamente di tipo sanitario, ma anche economico. Tra le vittime, numerose sono prive di un’assicurazione di previdenza sociale e non hanno ricevuto alcun aiuto dal governo statunitense. Il numero di malati sommersi dai debiti o in situazione di grande difficoltà economica continua così ad aumentare.

    Un reportage che porta alla luce gli effetti ambientali dell’11 settembre sulla popolazione locale.
