    Years after 911 people are still dying from the pollution.

    Great article about how first responders are still dying from the effects of air pollution caused by the collapse of the Twin Towners in New York. Not only hundred or thousands of 1st responders have gotten sick or died but civilians that breathed the air in lower manhattan also got sick and some died or are still suffering from breathing in asbestos dust to this day.

    I worked for the EPA and sampled asbestos in the air for a living. I know how to sample the air for asbestos fibers and how to sample a building for bulk asbestos on pipes, ceiling tiles, floor tiles and other places that you would not think asbestos fibers would exist. Back in the 50s and 60's the manufactures of many produces mixed asbestos fibers into their products to make them strong. Like when building a mud hut you mix straw to give it more strength they mixed asbestos fibers into concrete and even paint. When a modern 60s era building burns it releases asbestos fibers into the air. And if you were to take an air sample with a drone plane right in the middle of the plume of smoke you would find lots of asbestos fibers in the air smoke plume. But if you sample the air 1000 ft away from the plume of smoke and upwind of the smoke you would not find hardly any asbestos fibers in that air. So where you sample makes a huge difference. Read the article that I'm putting a link to in here. It's not that long but not short either But it's also applicable to how the Government treats Covid-19 today.

    Well if you ask me the Global Warming has a lot to do with this. Ocean current in the North Atlantic are said to be ready to chance and that will bring about major weather changes as those warm ocean currents bring warmer water up North. Without that warm water heading up to the North Pole things will chance a lot. Oceans have a profound effect on our weather.
