World Trade Center Related Health Among NYC Firefighters and EMS Workers

Background After the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks on September 11, 2001, the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) instituted a WTC medical monitoring and treatment program and established a data center to document health outcomes in the WTC-exposed workforce of ~16,000 firefighters and EMS workers.
