    The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program has denied four petitions to add amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to its list of related health conditions. After reviewing the scientific literature, the Program's Administrator found insufficient evidence to support a causal link between 9/11 exposures and ALS. As a result, the decision was made not to propose adding ALS to the list. This determination was published as a notice on January 22, 2025.
