I'd be more worried about air conditions in general, not just in lower manhattan. My mother worked downtown pre-9/11 and her asthma is really acting up now. Don't know if it's a coincidence, or just the air quality in general. But, I can tell you that my allergies are starting earlier than ever before and the pollen counts are supposed to be higher than usual.
