In the aftermath of the attacks, emergency responders, recovery workers, and residents were exposed to a toxic cloud of substances, including asbestos, lead, jet fuel, and more.

9/11 responders and survivors are at risk of chronic laryngitis

Laryngitis is the inflammation of the voice box, or larynx. It can happen due to overuse, irritation, or infection. When laryngitis lasts for more than three weeks, it's called chronic laryngitis. This type of laryngitis is usually caused by long-term exposure to irritants like the dust and debris released during the 9/11 attacks. A recent study revealed that 9/11 responders who developed the WTC cough syndrome also developed respiratory issues like chronic laryngitis. Symptoms of chronic laryngitis includes include:

hoarseness
weak or lost voice
tickling sensation and rawness in your throat
sore throat
dry throat
dry cough
