"Toxins in the air": diseases related to September 11 killed more people than the attacks, says Mamdani

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 08:36

More than 170,000 pages of documents about New York's response to the September 11 attacks have been made public, including records that remained inaccessible for decades. The archives may clarify what authorities knew about the risks of toxins in the air and when they became aware of the health consequences. According to Mamdani, September 11-related diseases killed more people than the attacks themselves. The article refers to the danger of "toxins in the air" released after the collapse of the twin towers.

'Putting a wedge' could become a crime in Portugal and carry up to three years in prison: find out when

A proposal from the Portuguese section of Transparency International advocates the creation of a new crime in Portugal to punish the so-called "cunha" when used to obtain preferential treatment in public decisions. The bill, sent to parties with parliamentary seats, provides for sentences of up to three years in prison or fines for anyone who uses personal, family or institutional relationships to unduly influence the actions of public officials. The measure also includes transparency mechanisms, such as mandatory registration of external contacts related to specific processes, and provides for its expiration after 15 years, with four-yearly evaluations. The proposal also extends to the private sector, namely listed companies, requiring them to disclose recruitment opportunities for senior positions.
