When you have that much particulate in the air, coming from burning and crumbling buildings, it was a given. FDNY has many firefighters who had or still have severe respiratory problems resulting from the exposure to all of the stuff in the air post 9/11. Many firefighters careers have ended because of these problems, and many will probably die as a result of this stuff. Asbestos is probably the most hazardous, but I would imagine silica, which will cause severe respiratory problems, was also very high. The number of people who were exposed to, and have or will have problems from this will be enormous. They could be adding more names to the list of dead from 9/11 for years to come. Very sad..
