HIDDEN VICTIMS OF WTC By ERIKA MARTINEZ - -- While NYPD Detective James Zadroga valiantly fought the Ground Zero illness that took his life last week, two city EMTs died in virtual anonymity of similar ailments. EMT Timothy Keller, 41, died June 23, 2005; EMT Felix Hernandez, 31, died Oct. 23, 2005. Family, friends and colleagues are now coming forward to talk about the life-threatening risks Ground Zero workers face. "There is no doubt in any of our minds that there is a direct correlation between their deaths and their participation at Ground Zero," said Don Faeth, vice president of the Uniformed Emergency Medical Technicians & Paramedics - FDNY, Local 2507. Keller, who worked out of Station 50 in Flushing, arrived at the World Trade Center soon after the terror strikes and remained there for 12 hours searching for victims. Within days, he began hacking up black phlegm. "It always sounded like he was coughing," said EMT Sherri Feibert. "It was very noticeable." The journal Environmental Health Perspectives reported that almost a third of workers involved in the WTC cleanup and recovery experienced a chronic cough that began shortly after employment at the site. Twenty-four percent reported new onset of phlegm production and 18 percent reported new onset of wheezing, its May 2004 report found. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/60636.htm

Pesticide may reduce fertility, says study - A common garden pesticide may be harming male fertility by suppressing
levels of the sex hormone testosterone, a study has found. Researchers measured by-products of a pesticide, chlorpyrifos, in males undergoing fertility treatment and found that those with the lowest testosterone levels had the most pesticide by-product in their systems. Chlorpyrifos is permitted under EU regulations for use in agriculture and garden insecticides and is used widely in Britain, but has been subject to stringent control in the US since 2000 because of concerns over its effects on brain function.
