Doctors are reportedly tracking September 11th rescue workers to see if the air at the site can be the cause of severe health issues beyond lung disease and cancer.

According to The New York Post, doctors are seeing a growing number of heart attacks and heart related deaths among first responders and construction workers who spent time at the World Trade Center site after the terror attacks.

Traces of Mercury and Benzene were found in the air at the site, but the EPA had deemed the air safe to breathe days after the attacks.

A class action suit filed on behalf of September 11th rescue workers argues at least 24 people have died as a result of toxins in the air.
