Description:This timeline conveys the history of 9/11 Health Impacts Research efforts to today.
After 9/11, health experts began evaluating exposure potential, defining diseases, and studying emerging trends in symptoms and conditions. In 2002, the CDC Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) established the World Trade Center Health Registry (the Registry). It became the largest post-disaster health registry in U.S. history, recruiting more than 71,000 voluntary registrants at the close of enrollment in 2004. In 2009, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) began administrating the Registry through the NYC DOHMH. Since inception, the Registry has published over 140 research papers on short- and long-term 9/11 health outcomes.
