Asthma and lower respiratory symptoms in New York State employees who responded to the World Trade Center disaster
International Archives of Occupational & Environmental Health, 11/09/09
Mauer MP et al. – Exposure was associated with LRS, but not asthma. Participants with exposure scores at/below the mean had a twofold increased risk of most LRS. Those with scores above the mean had a three to fourfold increased risk. For scores above the mean, the magnitude of effect was consistently higher for smoke exposure. Moderately exposed responders may experience health impacts from exposures in later stages of a disaster. Exposure to smoke may have had a greater lower respiratory impact than resuspended dust.
