A federal judge has cleared the way for a civil suit to proceed against the Environmental Protection Agency and its former head on the grounds that the agency misled the public when it deemed Ground Zero safe for workers and area residents to return.
The class action lawsuit was filed in 2004 by residents, students and workers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn who say they were exposed to hazardous dust and debris. They claim the EPA had no way of knowing whether it was safe or not to return, but told them to anyway.
The judge says former EPA head Christie Todd Whitman's assurance that the World Trade Center site was safe shortly after the 9/11 terror attacks was "conscience-shocking."
Just two days after 9/11, Whitman and the EPA declared the air seemed safe to breathe. An internal review later found the agency gave misleading assurances, at the White House's urging.
Critics say that the EPA was in a rush to declare that the air quality was good so that officials could reopen the New York Stock Exchange to help the economy. They also say the Bush administration didn't want to face the possibility of spending billions of dollars to clean people's homes.
peg, since i know a lot of people near the 9 11 area, i told them all to install hepa filtration systems in their houses and shut the windows for at least one month.
The epa came out with a very specific announcementn 4 days after 911 saying they had analyzed everything and there was no health hazard
whitman either acceded to the admin , or did it purposely
