A long-term study by New York's Mt. Sinai medical center found that many of the first responders, who were exposed to the dust cloud containing a complex mix of toxins and carcinogens, had high incidences of several conditions. The study found that 28 percent of the patients suffered from asthma, 42 percent had sinusitis, and 39 percent had gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD.
