Living Well: WTC Health
The 9/11 terror attacks are still taking a toll on the physical and mental health of survivors and first responders. As we mark 23 years since the attacks, see how people are still being diagnosed with 9/11 health conditions and getting treatment through a program that promises care for life.
Dr. Jacqueline Moline, Director of the Queens WTC health program at Northwell Health says many survivors and first responders are just now seeing longer-term health effects from their exposure to toxic dust and debris. She says there were so many different cancer-causing substances in the dust and the plume, so there was continued illness.
