Abstract Background Several studies have been conducted on the possible health effects for people living close to incinerators and well-conducted reviews are available. Nevertheless, several uncertainties limit overall interpretation of findings. We evaluated emissions from two in a pilot cohort study. Methods The study area was defined as 3.5 km radius around located near Forlì (Italy). People who were residents 1/1/1990, or subsequently became up 31/12/2003, enrolled longitudinal (31,347...
To evaluate short term immunological changes after agricultural exposure to commercial formulations of chlorophenoxy herbicides.Blood samples were collected from 10 farmers within seven days before exposure, one 12 and again 50 70 exposure. Whole blood was used count lymphocyte subsets with monoclonal antibodies. Peripheral mononuclear (PBM) cells measure natural killer (NK) cell activity response mitogenic stimulations. Values as reference.In comparison concentrations a significant...
The Covid and Mental Health (CoMeH) cohort was established to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on use mental health care services in Italy short long term, with a particular focus socioeconomic and/or citizenship inequalities.

We investigated the role of socio-economic status on diabetes prevalence, mortality and hospitalization in a large population-based cohort enrolled Rome, Italy.Diabetic residents aged ≥ 35 years 2007 were identified using multiple data sources. The effect deprivation area residence prevalence (years 2008-10) was by multilevel regression models, both among diabetic non-diabetic populations.Prevalence (8.3%) directly related to residence, especially for women. Diabetes increased risk...
A retrospective mortality study of a cohort 532 male subjects employed at two municipal plants for garbage recycling and incinerating has been conducted. All workers ever the since 1962 were enrolled followed up from January 1, 1965 to December 31, 1992. Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) 90% confidence intervals (90%CI) calculated using regional population rates. The yielded total 8,585 person-years observation. all causes was significantly lower than expected (observed [obs] = 31; SMR...
A chemical plant manufacturing pesticides has been operating since the 1950’s in Sacco River Valley (Central Italy).
