FDNY reports 12000+ 9/11-related illness cases
The FDNY has identified over 12,000 members diagnosed with at least one World Trade Center-related condition, with nearly 600 firefighter deaths linked to these illnesses since 9/11. First responders showing immediate exposure had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, though it was recently denied as a WTC-related illness by the federal government. The WTC Health Program has made significant advances in diagnosing and treating related health issues, including cancers, with improved outcomes and survival rates among affected personnel.
