The Cleanup Failure

Scathing, hair-raising, depressing. All of these words can describe the Sierra Club's Sept. 2006 report on how the federal government failed, and continues to fail, at the World Trade Center health crisis.

The report details how the federal government dropped the ball when it came to the cleanup and recovery operation, and how it still has failed to help those sickened by their exposure to the World Trade Center devastation.

What's worse, the Sierra Club paper warns that the federal government could have an even worse health-related response to future megacatastrophes.
