World Trade Center Health Problems

Health problems resulting from the destruction of the World Trade Center eleven years ago continue to affect survivors, first responders, volunteers, and cleanup workers. Rates of respiratory symptoms, PTSD, heart disease, and other illnesses are elevated among people who encountered the WTC aftermath. Surviving victims of the World Trade Center attack need as much help as possible to help them become fully healed. Never forget.
