World Trade Center Response

Science Summaries:

Scientific reporting allows health care professionals to make earlier diagnosis of WTC conditions, which leads to more effective treatment. However, scientifically identifying the causes of health problems or conditions is typically very difficult. It's often not possible to determine the specific cause of a given individual's illness or condition. For that reason, it is critical to encourage and promote scientifically rigorous studies and reviews of potential health problems or risk factors.
