| Sumario: | A year after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, scientists and doctors in New York City are still trying to find out exactly what those caught up in the debris and ash from the World Trade Center inhaled. Legislators and community activists want the Environmental Protection Agency to admit that a major pollution disaster happened and to acknowledge its responsibility to do something about it, but it simply continues to state there is nothing to be concerned about. However, the most immediate and inevitable lesson to be learned, is that the regulatory framework in which environmental issues are dealt with is most likely too narrowly formulated to be useful in the context of events of the magnitude and complexity of the September 11 disaster.
