| Resumen |
Respiratory health among cleanup workers at the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster site was evaluated approximately 20 months after the initial exposure to assess the risk of lower respiratory symptoms. In 2003, a questionnaire requesting information about the tasks carried out on the site, current respiratory and historical health and smoking was sent to 4,546 workers having worked at the site (response rate 25%), and 2,103 workers who were never at the WTC (response rate 12%). As compared with those never at the site, WTC workers were more than three times as likely to report any lower respiratory symptoms (odds ratio 3.40). |
