纽约市长曼达尼的政府公开了超过17万页的市政档案，记录了9/11恐怖袭击对城市空气质量的影响及政府应对措施1。这一举动结算了9/11健康监测组织提起的两起诉讼1。曼达尼在周二宣布了这批文件及在线访问门户1，距离9/11事件25周年仅有3天1。
公开的档案包含纽约市内部备忘录，证实城市官员曾知晓双子塔周围空气有毒，但误导公众认为空气安全1。前市长朱利亚尼领导的市政府曾预测数千名应急人员和社区成员将面临长期健康影响1。
曼达尼在声明中表示："有太长时间，纽约人不得不为争取本应在一开始就获得的记录而斗争"1，并指出"人们之所以生病，是因为他们信任的领导人撒谎，说在有毒空气中呼吸是安全的"1。9/11健康监测组织执行主任切瓦特对此表示感谢，称这是25年来市政府首次开始回答关于地面零点毒云危害的问题1。
New York City Mayor Mamdani's administration has made public more than 170,000 pages of municipal documents detailing the city's response to the September 11 attacks and their effects on air quality.1 The release, announced on Tuesday and made available through an online portal, resolves two lawsuits filed by the 9/11 Health Monitor organization seeking disclosure of long-withheld records.1
The released documents contain internal city memoranda in which officials weighed their responsibility regarding air quality and reveal that city leadership knew the air surrounding the Twin Towers was toxic but misled the public about its safety.1 Under the administration of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the city government had projected that thousands of emergency responders and community members would face long-term health consequences.1 Mayor Mamdani stated that "for too long, New Yorkers have had to fight for records that should have been made available in the first place," and emphasized that "people became sick because leaders they trusted lied and said it was safe to breathe in poisoned air."1 The disclosure comes three days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives across New York City, Washington, and Pennsylvania.1
The 9/11 Health Monitor organization's executive director, Cevat, thanked Mayor Mamdani for finally beginning to answer questions about what the city knew regarding the toxic cloud hazard at Ground Zero after a quarter century.1
