Dr. Goldfarb is an epidemiologist at the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program. He has a broad research background in occupational medicine, with specific training and expertise in the epidemiology of respiratory disease and cancer as well as characterizing exposures resulting from combustion events. Recently, he helped pioneer a job exposure matrix, a tool used for estimating quantities of smoke particles emitted at urban fire incidents. He has been a leading contributor to several works examining mortality, cancer biomarkers, pulmonary function, autoimmune conditions, and hearing loss among WTC rescue and recovery workers.
