NYC Mayor Mamdani to release hundreds of thousands of documents on 9/11 health impacts

New York City Mayor Mamdani announced Tuesday that his administration will release 170,000 pages of documents concerning the air quality around Ground Zero in the months following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. 

The documents will provide more details concerning what the city knew about the toxic air around the sites, when they knew about it and how they acted to limit liability, Mamdani said in a press conference at the City Hall Rotunda Tuesday, Fox News reported. 

Mamdani also said the release would be just the first, and there would be more to come. These documents will be released on a public portal accessible to everyone. 

9/11 Health Watch, an advocacy organization, sued the city to obtain the documents, and the portal is part of the settlement between the group and New York City.
