How the toxic air from 9/11 is still making former NYC students sick

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey at wbur.org/survey. Voters say that the economy is one of the most important issues ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The Washington Post's Jeff Stein joins us to break down what former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris said about the economy in Tuesday's debate. And, Millennials are America's largest and most diverse generation. How are they thinking about the upcoming election? Author Stella Rouse joins us to talk about what's driving Millennial voters. Then, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attack, students, teachers and other school staffers were sent back to buildings just blocks from the smoldering rubble of the Twin Towers before the area was considered safe. In the years since, exposure to the toxic air has sickened and killed thousands of people. Environmental epidemiologist Maayan Yitshak-Sade and former Stuyvesant High School student Lila Nordstrom join us.
