FDNY Sept. 11 Health Impacts

FDNY 25-Year Report on World Trade Center Health Effects

On the 25th anniversary of September 11th terrorist attacks, much of the world has changed, but the strength and courage displayed in 2001 have not been forgotten.

As time passes and as FDNY members continue to feel the health effects of their exposure during the rescue and recovery effort at the World Trade Center, the Department and its partners remain as committed as ever to supporting them and providing top-quality healthcare to both active and retired personnel.

Following the tragic loss of 343 FDNY members on September 11th, more than 15,000 FDNY members—including firefighters, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers, and civilian personnel, both actives and retirees—were exposed to WTC dust, particulates, noxious gases, chemicals, and fibers while working tirelessly for more than 10 months in the rescue and recovery effort. This fourth edition of the Department's health impacts report provides a follow up to physical and mental health.
