它是灾害那违抗所有想像力。
并且现在，超过五年在二架喷气式飞机以后在9月浸入了入纽约的双塔。 11日2001年，那里是专家不知道并且也许从未知道关于那令人难忘的天的健康后果。
“真正的问题是什么的不确定性我们不知道”，说博士。 Len Horovitz，一位肺专家在Lenox小山医院在纽约。 “And when you look at what we do know, the question arises as to whether we’re looking at tip of the iceberg or the iceberg itself.”
The disaster has been associated with a prolonged hacking known as “World Trade Center Cough” and with sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs.
Just this week, the New York City Chief Medical Examiner added the name of Felicia Dunn-Jones to the list of attack victims. Dunn-Jones, a 42-year-old attorney at the time of the attacks, died of sarcoidosis five months after the attacks. This marked the first time the city had officially linked a 9/11 death to the toxic plume.
According to a perspective piece in the May 31 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, some responders have already received compensation and litigation is ongoing for thousands of people who allegedly fell ill after inhaling World Trade Center dust.
