Summary
Supports the goals and ideals of National Sarcoidosis Awareness Month (April 2008). Recognizes that sarcoidosis: (1) has played a prominent yet hidden role in America's workforce history, being the chief diagnosis of the deaths of fluorescent light bulb workers in Salem, Massachusetts, in the 1940s; (2) disproportionately affects factory workers and Navy deckgrinders; and (3) was the first diagnosis for an overwhelming majority of rescue workers who assisted with the rescue and recovery operations after the attacks on September 11, 2001. Supports research efforts to better understand the links between sarcoidosis and specific occupations where sarcoidosis is disproportionately represented.
