United States Environmental Protection Agency September 11 attacks pollution controversy
The EPA 9/11 pollution controversy was the result of a report〔(EPA's Response to the World Trade Center Collapse: Challenges, Successes, and Areas for Improvement ), Report No. 2003-P-00012 August 21, 2003〕 released by the Office of the Inspector General of the United States Environmental Protection Agency in August 2003 which said the White House pressured the EPA to delete cautionary information about the air quality in New York City around Ground Zero following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
==Main findings==
According to the report: a September 18 EPA statement saying that the air was "safe"〔 was made without sufficient reliable data available; the White House Council on Environmental Quality influenced the EPA to make reassuring comments to the public; and on September 12 the EPA Administrator issued a memo saying that all statements to the media must be cleared by the National Security Council.
Numerous key differences between the draft versions and final versions of EPA statements were found. A recommendation that homes and businesses near ground zero be cleaned by professionals was replaced by a request that citizens follow orders from NYC officials. Another statement that showed concerns about sensitive populations was deleted altogether. Language used to describe excessive amounts of asbestos in the area was altered drastically to minimize attention to the dangers it posed.
