In the aftermath of the September 11 World Trade Center (WTC) attack, a large number of people sustained potential exposures to smoke, dust, particulate matter, and a variety of toxins, including asbestos, pulverized concrete, glass fibers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated furans and dioxins. Additionally, many had exposure to psychological traumatogens. The most common effects seen to date are respiratory and mental health consequences. The long-term consequences of exposures are not yet known, and there remains concern about the potential for late-emerging diseases such as cancers. This article reviews WTC-related health effects, the spectrum of exposures and how they were documented, and discusses future preventive efforts.
在9·11世贸中心袭击事件之后，大量人员可能接触到烟雾、灰尘、颗粒物以及多种毒素，包括石棉、粉碎的混凝土、玻璃纤维、多环芳烃（PAHs）、多氯呋喃和二恶英。此外，许多人还接触到心理创伤源。迄今为止观察到的最常见影响是呼吸和心理健康方面的后果。接触的长期后果尚不清楚，人们仍然担心可能出现诸如癌症等迟发性疾病。本文回顾了与世贸中心相关的健康影响、接触范围及其记录方式，并讨论了未来的预防措施。
