OBJECTIVES
The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers in New York City on September 11, 2001 (9/11), released approximately 1 million tons of pulverized particulate matter throughout southern Manhattan and areas in Brooklyn, exposing community members and responders to high levels of potentially toxic environmental particles. Asbestos exposure was a health concern because of its use in certain sections of the WTC towers. Malignant mesothelioma, originating from the lining cells (mesothelium) of the peritoneal and pleural cavities, is one complication associated with asbestos exposure.
METHODS
The WTC Environmental Health Center (WTC EHC) is a treatment and surveillance program for community members (Survivors) exposed to WTC dust and fumes.
RESULTS
In this report, we describe four cases of mesothelioma in the WTC EHC as of July 1st, 2023. Two of our patients have been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma and two patients have been diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma.
CONCLUSION
Given the known delay in the development of mesotheliomas after asbestos exposure, we provide information on these early mesothelioma cases to enhance the understanding of the adverse health effects of WTC exposures on the local community.
目标
2001年9月11日（9·11事件）纽约市世界贸易中心双塔被毁，在曼哈顿南部和布鲁克林部分地区释放了约100万吨粉碎的颗粒物，使社区居民和救援人员暴露于高浓度的潜在有毒环境颗粒物中。由于世界贸易中心双塔某些区域使用了石棉，石棉暴露成为一个健康问题。恶性间皮瘤起源于腹膜和胸膜腔的衬里细胞（间皮），是与石棉暴露相关的一种并发症。
方法
世界贸易中心环境卫生中心（WTC EHC）是一个针对暴露于世贸中心灰尘和烟雾的社区成员（幸存者）的治疗和监测项目。
结果
在本报告中，我们描述了截至2023年7月1日世界贸易中心环境卫生中心的4例间皮瘤病例。我们的两名患者被诊断为腹膜间皮瘤，两名患者被诊断为胸膜间皮瘤。
结论
鉴于已知石棉暴露后间皮瘤发病存在延迟，我们提供这些早期间皮瘤病例的信息，以增进对世贸中心暴露对当地社区健康的不良影响的理解。
