Ce s-a întâmplat, de fapt, cu copiii care au respirat aerul toxic, în urma atentatelor din 11 septembrie: Astăzi sunt adulți, dar efectele încă îi urmăresc

Approximately 25,000 children were in Lower Manhattan during the Twin Towers collapse, and authorities are now investigating the long-term health effects of their exposure to toxic dust. The CDC plans to study individuals exposed as children or in utero, focusing on various health aspects, including respiratory health and mental well-being. The study aims to determine potential associations between early exposure to contaminants and later health issues. Recruitment for the study, set to begin in 2027, may be challenging due to the dispersed nature of the affected population. Findings could inform preventive measures for children exposed to future disasters.
