从纽约世贸中心袭击事件中幸运逃生的人们以及参与救援的工作人员,在惊魂未定庆幸自己劫后余生之时或许不会想到,他们的健康已经受到了严重影响。罪魁祸首则是世贸中心大楼广泛使用的建筑材料——石棉。石棉有良好的防火、抗腐蚀以及绝缘性能,这种通常以白色微纤维形态存住的矿物,曾经广泛用于各种工业用途以及房屋建筑,直到上个世纪80 Those who escaped fortunately from the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the staff involved in the rescue may not have thought that their health had been severely affected when they were glad that they had survived the rest of their lives. The culprit is asbestos, a building material widely used in the World Trade Center building. Asbestos has good fire, corrosion, and insulation properties. This mineral, usually in the form of white microfibers, has been widely used in various industrial applications and house construction until the last century 80.
