POLICE OFFICER DID NOT DEMONSTRATE HIS PULMONARY HYPERTENSION WAS RELATED TO HIS SERVICE AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ON 9-11.

The First Department, in an extensive decision, determined petitioner, a police officer who worked over 100 hours at the World Trade Center (WTC) beginning on September 11, 2001, was not entitled to accident disability retirement benefits (ADR) based upon pulmonary hypertension. There was no showing the pulmonary hypertension was related to the time spent at the WTC:

The record establishes that, long before the events of September 11, 2001, petitioner suffered from a number of medical conditions that are risk factors for the development of pulmonary hypertension. * * *

The record is devoid of any medical study linking exposure to WTC site contaminants to pulmonary hypertension, nor does it contain any evidence that other WTC site responders have been diagnosed with this condition in numbers greater than would be predicted from general epidemiological experience. Matter of Stavropoulos v Bratton, 2017 NY Slip Op 01779, 1st Dept 3-9-17
