The attacks, which involved two planes hitting the twin towers in Lower Manhattan, New York City, resulted in the collapse of the buildings and over 2800 deaths of occupants of the buildings, fire, police and other responders and persons on the street in the vicinity of the collapsing buildings. The destroyed towers and the surrounding buildings have since been replaced but the health effects that resulted from the release of tons of dust, gases and debris as well as the life threat trauma are ongoing, and represent a major health burden among persons directly exposed. Hundreds of scientific publications have documented the physical and mental health effects attributed to the disaster. The current state-of-the-art in understanding the ongoing interactions of physical and mental health, especially PTSD, and the unique mechanisms by which pollutants from the building collapse, have resulted in long term pulmonary dysfunction, course of previously reported conditions, potential emerging conditions (e.g., heart disease and autoimmune diseases), as well as quality of life, functioning and unmet health care needs would be in the purview of this Special Issue on the 9/11 Disaster.Philosophybicssc9/119/11 disaster9/11 impactagingair pollutionairway hyperreactivityairway physiologyallergen exposureAsian Americansasthmaasthma controlasthma morbidityasthma outcomesasthma quality of lifebiomarkerscardiac sarcoidosischronic diseasechronic sinusitiscleaning practicescognitive declinecognitive reservecomorbid insomniacounselingCox regressiondepressiondisasterdisaster epidemiologydisaster mental healthdustenvironmental healthepidemiological studiesevidence-based treatmentextrathoracic sarcoidosisFDNYfibrosisfibrotic sarcoidfirefightersforced oscillationgeneticshandgrip strengthhazard functionhealth insurancehealth-related quality of lifeHQoLimmunoglobulin Eincome lossindoor allergens sensitizationinflammationinjuryirritant(s)latent class analysislongitudinal analysislower Manhattan residentslung functionlung injurymedical imagingmental healthmental health conditionsmental health service usemental health service utilizationmental health treatmentmetabolic syndromemini asthma quality of life questionnairen/aneuropathic symptomsobstructive sleep apneaoccupational exposureparesthesiaPCL scoreperipheral neuropathyphysical healthpost-disasterprevalencepsychotherapyPTSDPTSD clusterPTSD symptom changepulmonary fibrosispulmonary function testsquality improvementrescue/recovery workersrespiratory functionrespiratory symptomsretirementsarcoidosisScadding stagescreeningsevere lung diseaseShort Form-12 (SF-12)sleep-related quality of lifesleepinesssmall airway diseasesocial supportstressful life eventssurveillance biasthyroid cancertreatment utilizationtrigger(s)unmet mental health care needsWorld Trade CenterWorld Trade Center (WTC)World Trade Center attackWorld Trade Center disasterWorld Trade Center exposureWTCWTC attackWTC respondersWTC survivorsWTC-related asthmaPhilosophyBrackbill Robert Mauth1301453Graber Judith MauthRobison W.
