abstract="To date, the main respiratory health consequence from the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) on September 11, 2001 has been the &quot;WTC Cough Syndrome&quot; (chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, and/or bronchitis, often complicated by gastroesophageal reflux dysfunction). Syndrome incidence and severity have been linked to WTC dust exposure intensity. While it is too early to ascertain long-term effects of WTC dust exposure, effective treatment guidelines have been designed through a collaborative effort by the three established centers of excellence for WTC medical monitoring and treatment and the WTC Registry. These treatment recommendations are described here.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
