911 effectees still face lung problems
Apr 9th
A study of nearly 13,000 rescue workers who responded to the September 11th attacks in 2001, has found a reduction in the lung function that did not improve over the next seven years.
The study by Dr. David Prezant, with the Office of Medical Affairs at the New York City Fire Department, is the first to chronicle how the long-term health of firefighters and emergency medical service (EMS) workers has been impacted since the World Trade Center attacks in New York City.
