Neighborhood environments impact long-term health of 9/11 responders

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260911/Neighborhood-environments-impact-long-term-health-of-911-responders.aspx Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that environmental conditions where World Trade Center responders live may influence their long-term physical and mental health. Published in Nature Communications, the study found an association between responders exposed to higher temperatures and greater levels of air pollution and an increased risks of frailty, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression as they aged. In contrast, living in greener environments was associated with lower risks of all three conditions.
