U.S. Study Claims No Link Between 9/11 Rubble and Cancer; Treatment Not To Be Covered in Healthcare 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The U.S. government claims there is insufficient evidence to suggest
dust and debris inhaled after the World Trade Center attacks has caused
cancer. The World Trade Center Health Program reached the conclusion
after a preliminary analysis of peer-reviewed studies. The assessment
has drawn anger from emergency personnel who responded to the disaster.
The finding means cancer treatment sought by thousands of first
responders will not be covered by healthcare legislation signed earlier
this year.
