Background: Trihalomethanes (THMs) are widespread disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water, and long-term exposure has been consistently associated with increased bladder cancer risk. Objective: We assessed THM levels water the European Union as a marker of DBP estimated attributable burden cancer. Methods: collected recent annual mean municipal 28 countries (EU28) from routine monitoring records. linear exposure–response function for average residential by pooling data studies...
The HIWATE (Health Impacts of long-term exposure to disinfection byproducts in drinking WATEr) project was a systematic analysis that combined the epidemiology on adverse pregnancy outcomes and other health effects with low levels water (DBPs) European Union. present study focused relationship occurrence concentration DBPs vitro mammalian cell toxicity. Eleven samples were collected from five countries. Each sampling location corresponded an epidemiological for program. Over 90 identified;...
Ingested nitrate leads to the endogenous synthesis of N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), animal carcinogens with limited human evidence. We aimed evaluate risk colorectal cancer (CRC) associated exposure in drinking water and diet. A case-control study Spain Italy during 2008-2013 was conducted. Hospital-based incident cases population-based (Spain) or hospital-based (Italy) controls were interviewed on residential history, consumption since age 18, dietary information. Long-term waterborne...
There is evidence in literature that the spread of COVID-19 can be influenced by various geographic factors, including territorial features, climate, population density, socioeconomic conditions, and mobility. The objective paper to provide an updated review on geographical studies analysing factors which spreading. This took into account not only aspects but also COVID-19-related outcomes (infections deaths) allowing discern potential influencing role per type outcome. A total 112...
Mummy studies allow to reconstruct the characteristic of a population in specific spatiotemporal context, terms living conditions, pathologies and death. Radiology represents an efficient diagnostic technique able establish preservation state mummified organs estimate patient's pathological conditions. However, radiological approach shows some limitations. Although bone structures are easy differentiate, soft tissue components much more challenging, especially when they overlap. For this...
Summary The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between preterm/early preterm delivery and active smoking as well environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in a sample pregnant Italian women. A case–control conducted nine cities Italy October 1999 September 2000. Cases birth were singleton babies born before 37th gestational week; 35th week considered early births. Controls with ages ≥ week. total 299 cases (including 105 preterm) 855 controls analysed. self‐administered...
There appears to be very good epidemiological evidence for a relationship between chlorination by-products, as measured by trihalomethanes (THMs), in drinking water and bladder cancer, but the other cancers, including colorectal cancer inconclusive inconsistent. some THMs, small gestational age (SGA)/intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) preterm delivery, outcomes such low birth weight (LBW), stillbirth, congenital anomalies semen quality The overall aim of HIWATE study is investigate...
Natural and technological disasters health emergencies are increasingly causing human economic losses disruptions. Disaster risk reduction can be effectively achieved only through a comprehensive approach aimed at connecting integrating all the actors involved in forecasting, preventing, managing mitigating disaster its consequences. Furthermore, risks certainly minimized by transferring to relevant institutions general public valid reliable knowledge on nature, causes effects of such...
The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence self-reported respiratory, ocular and cutaneous symptoms in subjects working at indoor swimming pools assess relationship between frequency declared occupational exposure disinfection by-products (DBPs). Twenty Emilia Romagna region Italy were included study. Information about health status 133 employees collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Subjects claimed frequently experience following symptoms:...
Background:Evidence on the association between colorectal cancer and exposure to disinfection by-products in drinking water is inconsistent.Objectives:We assessed long-term trihalomethanes (THMs), most prevalent group of chlorination by-products, evaluate with cancer.Methods:A multicenter case–control study was conducted Spain Italy 2008–2013. Hospital-based incident cases population-based (Spain) hospital-based (Italy) controls were interviewed ascertain residential histories, type consumed...
Chlorination by-products (CBPs) in drinking water have been associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including small for gestational age at term (term-SGA) and preterm delivery. Epidemiological evidence is weakened by a generally inaccurate exposure assessment, often ecological level. A case control study incident cases was performed nine Italian towns between October 1999 September 2000. total 1,194 subjects were enrolled: 343 births (26th–37th not completed week...
