Description:September 11th marks 21 years since 9/11. Yet, there are thousands of people who need ongoing healthcare monitoring and treatment following their exposure on and in the months following 9/11. The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program provides this healthcare and supports health research efforts. Research improves our understanding of 9/11 health impacts and can lead to better healthcare among those impacted. Learn more about role of research for members of the 9/11 community and how you can help this community.
The events of 9/11 created harmful dust, debris, smoke and other hazardous conditions. Many responders, workers, volunteers, residents, students, and others were exposed. The traumatic events took a major physical and emotional toll, as many became sick because of their exposure. Research began early to understand the serious effects on the well-being of those exposed.
Many scientists and clinicians who responded in the wake of those attacks still contribute to research today. Decades of partnership between scientists, clinicians, and research participants support the WTC Health Program’s ability to provide care for its members.
