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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrizewinning 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Gonzalez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565847547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565847545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.46w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMother Jones\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2002 pg. 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/08\/2002 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/12\/2002","brand":"Juan Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48175433515263,"sku":"9781565847545","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c451ea4-ada6-48c1-b4da-10c70d7a2f63.jpg?v=1771333707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fallout-juan-gonzalez-9781565847545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
