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.asthma outcomeshealth insurancemental healthhandgrip strengthWTCcognitive reservedisaster epidemiologysurveillance biascardiac sarcoidosislung functionlung injurytreatment utilizationinjuryCox regressionlower Manhattan residentschronic sinusitissocial supportindoor allergens sensitizationrespiratory functionFDNYasthma controlsarcoidosisasthma9/11 impactphysical healthrescue/recovery workerschronic diseaseevidence-based treatmentirritant(s)fibrosisunmet mental health care needsairway hyperreactivityasthma quality of lifeShort Form-12 (SF-12)WTC-related asthmalongitudinal analysisforced oscillationthyroid cancerpsychotherapycognitive decline9/11 disastersevere lung diseaseprevalenceinflammationpulmonary function testsWorld Trade Center disasterdisaster mental healthepidemiological studiesobstructive sleep apneacounselingsleepinessPTSDhazard functioncleaning practicesair pollutionagingstressful life eventsairway physiologyscreeningPTSD clusterlatent class analysisretirementenvironmental healthWorld Trade Centerquality improvementpulmonary fibrosisWTC attackdustPCL scoreWTC respondersmini asthma quality of life questionnairebiomarkersHQoLhealth-related quality of lifeScadding stage9/11firefightersallergen exposuremetabolic syndromeneuropathic symptomssmall airway diseaseAsian Americansasthma morbidityPTSD symptom changeWTC survivorstrigger(s)World Trade Center exposureoccupational exposureperipheral neuropathydisasterrespiratory symptomsmental health treatmentgeneticsmental health service utilizationcomorbid insomniasleep-related quality of lifeWorld Trade Center attackimmunoglobulin Emental health service useincome lossparesthesiaWorld Trade Center (WTC)fibrotic sarcoiddepressionpost-disastermental health conditionsextrathoracic sarcoidosismedical imagingBrackbill Robert Mauth1301453Graber Judith MauthRobison W.
