| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to describe physical symptoms among 1898 individuals consisting of local residents, local workers and cleanup workers who presented to the World Trade Center (WTC) Environmental Health Center between September 2005 and May 2008. Subjects were found to have new and persistent respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities five or more years after the WTC terrorist attack. Implications for disaster preparedness and health monitoring after environmental disasters are discussed. |
