To help assist the 9/11 first responders and locals who suffered health complications from the materials released into the air following the 2001 terrorist attacks, Congress passed the James L. Zedroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act to cover some of their medical expenses. The Act drew criticism, however, for not including lung cancer among the list of conditions eligible for aid. Recently, Congress resonded by adding lung cancer and mesothelioma to the list of diseases covered by the Act. This should be a helpful measure, considering the 400 tons of asbestos released into the air when the buildings collapsed. Mesothelioma is an often fatal form of lung cancer usually caused by asbestos exposure. Rick Dodd Cappolino Dodd Krebs LLP
