• Description:
  During the past five years, FDNY's world Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program (FDNY-WTC-MMTP) has become a national model in terms of both providing services for Department members and developing comprehensive data on the effects of exposure to the WTC site. These objective data were an important part of the Mayor's WTC Health Panel's deliberations and recommendations released in February 2007. Through a series of charts and graphs, our FDNY report presents the data we have obtained. We hope this information is useful to all of our members, including non-WTC responders, in understanding the known health effects of 9/11. Of course, this FDNY report presents only aggregate data and contains no information about any individual member's health. In performing its medical monitoring and treatment roles, the FDNY-WTC-MMTP, as a top priority, is preserving the confidentiality of members' personal health records and information. Section 1 of this report provides some background on the FDNY-WTC-MMTP (hereafter referred to as "the FDNY WTC Program"). Section 2 presents aggregate data on the physical health effects of exposures at the WTC on and after 9/11. Section 3 presents aggregate data on the mental health effects of 9/11. Section 4 shows the effects of 9/11 on FDNY member retirements and disability pensions collected. Sections 5 and 6 provide a summary of efforts to date, a brief look at future plans and information about funding the FDNY's programs. [Description provided by NIOSH]
