    The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)

long term health effects among persons exposed to the WTC disaster.

B. Eligible Applicant

Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH). NYCDOHMH has designed and 
implemented the protocol for the initial data collection for this

the residents of New York City, and they have strong linkages to all 
levels of the community required to gain enrollment of identified 
registry populations.
