    Testimony: Ground Zero Poisoned Workers By Laurie Garrett
    John Graham, health and safety instructor for the Carpenters' Union, said he worked at Ground Zero for 262 straight days and is permanently disabled.

'Today I am a chronically ill man who is anxious about my ability to support my family,' Graham said.
