一项新研究发现,世界贸易中心应对者由于接触有毒尘埃,肺癌风险几乎增加了三倍。 WTC responders have nearly triple the lung cancer risk due to toxic dust exposure, a new study finds.

911事件后在世界贸易中心现场工作的应急人员患肺癌的风险几乎增加了三倍,这是JAMA网络公开发现的一项新研究。 Emergency responders who worked at the World Trade Center site after 9/11 have nearly triple the risk of lung cancer, a new study in JAMA Network Open finds. 研究人员分析了来自12,000多个反应者的数据,并发现那些接触有毒尘埃和烟雾程度最高者的风险高达2.9倍,而中度接触者的风险则增加了86%。 Researchers analyzed data from over 12,000 responders and discovered those with the highest exposure to toxic dust and fumes had up to 2.9 times greater risk, while moderately exposed individuals faced an 86% increase. 这项研究是第一个将世界贸易中心接触直接与肺癌联系起来的研究,认为在清理的几个月中,长期和反复接触空气中的毒素的风险较高。 The study, the first to link WTC exposure directly to lung cancer, attributes the heightened risk to prolonged, repeated exposure to airborne toxins during months of cleanup. 先前的研究可能错过了这一联系,原因是跟踪期短,答复者吸烟率低。 Previous research may have missed this connection due to short follow-up periods and low smoking rates among responders. 调查结果强调需要持续进行健康监测和进一步调查该场址的致癌物。 The findings emphasize the need for ongoing health monitoring and further investigation into carcinogens at the site.
