NEW YORK -- The city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said most people enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Registry reported one or more respiratory problems that started or became worse after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The quarterly report, released Monday, also said eight percent of the 70,000 enrolled adults experienced psychological distress in the 30-day period before being interviewed for the registry.

"Whether these symptoms persist at present -- and for how long they will persist -- will require further investigation," said Health Commissioner Thomas Freiden.

1. Horrible Stench

I live 50 miles from Ground Zero. Three days after 9/11 the winds shifted and the stench reached us. People were calling 911, radio stations, etc., asking what was that HORRIBLE SMELL. There was a yellow/green fog surrounding everything. We were told it was from Ground Zero because of the winds. After about an hour of this, I started coughing and my eyes and throat burned. We had to close all the windows and doors. School officials told us to keep the children indoors and not let them go out for recess. It was BAD. And as I said, this was 50 miles away and 3 days later. Does NOT surprise me that the people actually AT Ground Zero and in nearby areas are getting sick.

Just MORE cover ups from this Administration.
