The cloud of toxic dust also contained carcinogenic compounds, such as mercury, lead and cadmium from burning plastics, office materials and jet fuel.

The documents were kept from the public for over two decades, and appear to support the notion that New Yorkers were told they could return to Ground Zero before it was safe.

Dr Michael Crane, the medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai, said the program is on high alert for all types of cancers. “Since we know all cancers are increased [among members] every time we do a monitoring visit, our eyes are looking for all cancers,” he told The Post. “One we’re enormously concerned about is melanoma,” he explained, adding it is “much more deadly” than the common basal skin cancer. “Then, you have prostate cancer. We do believe that it has an increased frequency because of the exposure.” Advertisement   Crane said that the true cancer count for those affected by 9/11 could be higher than what’s recorded as thousands of people never enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program. Around 400,000 people were “significantly exposed” to the toxic air at Ground Zero, he said. From people in “the apartment buildings with the windows open … and kids crawling around on the floor,” there are people who might not realize they were exposed to dangerous chemicals, he said.
