Medium shot cleanup at ground zero, zoom out to wide\u003cbr/\u003eU-S Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Joseph I. Lieberman will hold a hearing Monday to examine the quality of air at ground zero and its effect on the thousands who have breathed it.\u003cbr/\u003eSince the September 11 terror attacks, workers at the trade center and local residents have developed respiratory problems, including the so-called \"World Trade Centre cough\" and various other symptoms from shortness of breath to wheezing.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the long-term effects of breathing the air rising from the debris are still under debate, with medical experts disagreeing on the seriousness of exposure to air that may contain possible carcinogens. \u003cbr/\u003eClinton said she has discussed monitoring the health of rescue workers with officials of the Environmental Protection Agency and the United Firefighters' Association, which represents most city firefighters.\u003cbr/\u003eA Fire Department lung specialist said that of the 8,000 people examined so far, those who worked at ground zero in the first days after the attacks showed the most serious respiratory symptoms.\u003cbr/\u003eOverall, the specialist said some 25 percent of the 11,500 firefighters who spent time at the disaster site have some level of symptoms, either complaining about shortness of breath, weakness, coughs or stress- related problems.\u003cbr/\u003eMany firefighters who raced to save victims of the September 11 World Trade Center attack now are facing their own health problems because of the contaminated air at the disaster site.\u003cbr/\u003eSome have asthma while others have troubles ranging from a persistent cough to diminished lung capacity that can interfere with their physically demanding jobs.\u003cbr/\u003eA few hundred are on medical leave or working light duty because of respiratory illness.\u003cbr/\u003eSo far about 30 firefighters have started the retirement process because of respiratory problems after working at the trade center disaster, which either caused their lung ailments or made prior ones worse, according to fire officials.\u003cbr/\u003eApart from those with current symptoms, medical experts say some firefighters and other ground-zero workers may be at risk of developing cancer decades from now.\u003cbr/\u003eOne attorney said he has filed legal documents on behalf of more than 700 firefighters with respiratory symptoms to preserve their right to sue the city later on.\u003cbr/\u003eResearchers who are studying the health effects of September . 11 say the failure of many rescue workers to wear respirators is a major factor in their health.\u003cbr/\u003eFire officials said that with so many off-duty firefighters and volunteers pouring in to help, there simply weren't enough to go around early on.\u003cbr/\u003eAmong the substances that escaped from the 1.2 million tons (1.1 million metric tons) of debris at ground zero are asbestos, benzene, dioxin, and polychlorinated biphenyls, known as PCBs.\u003cbr/\u003eThese are linked to cancer, although experts said in many cases the exposures were low enough that the risk appears to be small.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd the exposure isn't over yet.\u003cbr/\u003eEvery time a worker picks up a beam that contains asbestos, some material is kicked into the air and could be inhaled by workers who aren't wearing proper protection.\u003cbr/\u003eCleanup workers have also reported lots of health problems.\u003cbr/\u003eA mobile health clinic for day labourers who cleaned buildings near the World Trade Center opened for business last month.\u003cbr/\u003eThe clinic on wheels provides health screenings as well as properly fitting respirators to hundreds of workers, mainly immigrant day labourers without health insurance.\u003cbr/\u003eThe medical exams are conducted in a camper parked not far from ground zero.\u003cbr/\u003eThe initiative is a joint project of the Centre for the Biology of Natural Systems at Queens College, the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health, and the Latin American Workers Project.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
