<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Within days of the September 11th attack in New York City, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christie Whitman, together with <i>Time</i> Man of the Year Rudy Giuliani, reassured New Yorkers that air contaminants are either not detectable or are below the Agency's concern levels.</p><p>In fact, EPA tests taken at the time showed high concentrations of toxic materials in the air downtown, including asbestos, dioxins, and heavy metals. Con Edison and the Port Authority revealed--two months after the attack--that nearly 200,000 gallons of diesel fuel and transformer oils, much of it contaminated with low-level PCBs, had escaped beneath Ground Zero. And independent measurements of indoor air, widespread because the agency declined to test private buildings, showed astronomically higher readings.</p><p>Prizewinning journalist Juan Gonzalez argues that public officials misled New Yorkers about the real dangers of toxic contamination after September 11. Their failure may have profound effects on the long-term health of New Yorkers and the reputation of the ex-mayor.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><i>Daily News</i> columnist Juan González is one of the few journalists investigating the environmental impact of the WTC collapse. His previous books include <i>Roll Down Your Window</i> and <i>Harvest of Empire</i>.<br>
