Nine Years Later: Exposures after the World Trade Center Attacks, with Paul Lioy - a podcast by EHP: The Researchers Perspective

from 2010-09-11T16:00

:: ::

The collapse of the World Trade Center buildings on 11 September 2001 created a massive cloud of dust that blanketed lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. That dust comprised a complex mixture of building materials, office equipment, jet fuel, and combustion by-products. In this podcast, Paul Lioy discusses how this dust differs from other particulate matter and how these differences may have affected the health of those who were exposed to the dust. Lioy is the deputy director of the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers University. He is also the author of the book Dust: The Inside Story of Its Role in the September 11th Aftermath. Visit the podcast webpage to download a full transcript of this podcast.
