  • 2025-00692 — World Trade Center Health Program; Petitions 031, 036, 039, and 053-Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Finding of Insufficient Evidence
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 7698
    Reading Time:about 25 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge said there isn’t enough proof to say that a sickness called ALS is caused by stuff from 9/11, so they won’t add it to a special list of health problems.
