white lung is an acute lung injury where the sufferer has coughing and rales, it is caused by inflammation of the lungs in people exposed to irritants such as corrosive chemical vapors or ammonia or chlorine etc, which causes the lungs to become stiff and fibrous so that they cannot exchange oxygen properly.

Therefore while there were irritants placed in the air as a result of 9/11 it is unlikely that while lung would manifest so long after the event.
