Project Title:Metabolomics of World Trade Center Exposed New York City Firefighters
Project Type:C18 Reversed-Phase Broad Spectrum Metabolomics
Project Summary:Particulate matter (PM) exposure and metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) coexist in both industrialized and developing nations. PM and MetSyn are strong risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. After the World Trade Center collapse in 9/11/2001, PM-exposed individuals from the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) developed a progressively lung disease. This nested case-cohort study is composed of never smoking, WTC exposed firefighters with normal pre-9/11 lung function presenting for subspecialty pulmonary evaluation (SPE) before March 2008. Representative cohort controls with serum drawn within six months of 9/11 (n=100). FEV1 at subspecialty exam defined cases: susceptible World Trade Center Lung Injury (WTC-LI) cases (n=50) had FEV1< lower limit of normal (LLN) and resistant WTC-LI cases with FEV1 ≥107% predicted (n=50). This study will determine the metabolomics profile that differentiates firefighters with WTC-LI, firefighters resistant to WTC-LI, and similarly exposed cohort controls.
