Abstract

The article commemorates the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, highlighting the ongoing health impacts on first responders, particularly members of the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY). During a recent ceremony, 32 FDNY members who died from illnesses related to their rescue efforts were added to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall, raising the total illness-related deaths to over 360. The article discusses the toxic exposures faced by responders and recovery workers, which have led to various health issues, including cancers and mental health conditions. It also encourages individuals affected by the events of 9/11 to register for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. [Extracted from the article]
