Stephen M. Levin (October 16, 1941 – February 7, 2012) was the medical director of the Mount Sinai Irving Selikoff Center for Occupational Health, a professor of occupational medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the co-director of the World Trade Center Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening Program.
[4] After completing his training in occupational medicine, he joined the faculty at Mount Sinai, where he spent the remainder of his career, eventually becoming a full professor in 2011.
[6][3] Days after the World Trade Center attacks, Levin and his colleagues began planning what would become the clinic for WTC responders.
[9] A study by the clinic three years later documented that ninety percent of the 10,116 firefighters and other responders reported an acute cough within the first 48 hours.
Levin contributed to the passage of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, legislation designed to ensure that the 9/11 first responders receive basic medical necessities as a result of their toxic exposures.
