Add a section 4.7 Titled Journalists "In the months after the attacks, journalists from around the world spent long hours at ground zero, covering the rescue efforts and the eventual demolition of the remaining structures. Most worked without protective gear. On August 15, 2019, former CNN videographer Michael Gittelman died from cancer. Doctors believe it was caused by exposure to toxins in the wake of 9-11. Gittelman spent months at ground zero for CNN operating a live camera.
Not done for a few reasons. None of these sources seem particularly reliable, although I wouldn't mind someone double-checking me on that (the first one is behind a registration wall, so I didn't read the actual article). Second, the "doctors believe..." line is highly dubious, especially in light of the unreliability of the sources. Exposure to hazardous materials may increase risk of developing cancer, but trying to say there was a single cause isn't how things really work. If there were some actual study on cancer rates among journalists reporting from the site or something, that would be a lot more appropriate to include. –

General list of deceased due to health effects
I'm thinking that this list would be better formatted as a table so that the format can easily remain consistent. It's a very long list and the structure appears to break down significantly towards the end. I've already done the work of putting it into a table, I just want to see what other people think before I implement it.

Add the following informative paragraph to the 'Cancer Risk' section:
Through the
September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer as a result of their physical exposure to the toxins in the World Trade Center blast zone or the surrounding New York City area between September 11, 2001, and May 30, 2002, are able to receive financial compensation for the collateral damage they personally suffered because of the attack. Through free legal guidance, affected individuals can clarify their specific eligibility for the VCF, while receiving the necessary logistic aid in order to fulfill a compensation claim by the current cut-off date for ‘timely’ applications, July 29, 2021.
