Abstract

Abstract Background No study has been carried out on the time trend in the prevalence of chronic bronchitis (CB) in recent years, despite its clinical and epidemiological relevance. We evaluated the trend in CB prevalence during the past decade among young Italian adults. Methods A screening questionnaire was mailed to general population samples of 20–44 year-old subjects in two cross-sectional surveys: the Italian Study on Asthma in Young Adults (ISAYA) (1998/2000; n = 18,873, 9 centres) and the screening stage of the Gene Environment Interactions in Respiratory Diseases (GEIRD) study (2007/2010; n = 10,494, 7 centres). CB was defined as having cough and phlegm on most days for a minimum of 3 months a year and for at least 2 successive years. The prevalence rates and the risk ratios (RRs) for the association between CB and each potential predictor were adjusted for gender, age, season of response, type of contact, cumulative response rate, and centre. Results CB prevalence was 12.5% (95% CI: 12.1-12.9%) in 1998/2000 and 12.6% (95% CI: 11.7-13.7%) in 2007/2010; it increased among never smokers (from 7.6 to 9.1%, p = 0.003), current light smokers ( Conclusions Despite the significant reduction in current smoking, CB prevalence did not vary among young Italian adults. The temporal pattern of CB prevalence can only be partly explained by the increase of unemployment/premature retirement, asthma and allergic rhinitis, and suggests that other factors could have played a role.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Industrial air pollution is a public health hazard. Previous evidence documented increased respiratory symptoms and hospitalizations in children who live near the factories in the largest chipboard manufacturing district in Italy (Viadana). OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the association of outdoor exposure to formaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide (N[O.sub.2]) with markers of early genotoxic damage in oral mucosa cells of randomly selected children (6-12 years of age) living in Viadana. METHODS: In 2010-2011, DNA strand breaks and nuclear abnormalities were evaluated in exfoliated buccal cells by the comet and micronucleus assays, respectively, and formaldehyde and N[O.sub.2] were monitored by passive sampling. Annual exposure estimates to pollutants were assigned to children's houses by spatial interpolation. RESULTS: Of 656 children, 413 (63%) participated. Children living near (< 2 km) the chipboard industries had the highest average exposure to formaldehyde and N[O.sub.2] (p < 0.001). A 1-SD increase in formaldehyde (0.20 µg/[m.sup.3]) was associated with a 0.13% (95% CI: 0.03, 0.22%) higher comet tail intensity, a 0.007 (95% CI: 0.001, 0.012) higher tail moment, and a 12% relative increase [relative risk (RR) = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.23] in nuclear buds. A 1-SD N[O.sub.2] increase (2.13 µg/[m.sup.3]) was associated with a 0.13% (95% CI: 0.07, 0.19%) increase in binucleated cells and a 16% relative increase (RR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.26) in nuclear buds. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to pollutants was associated with markers of genotoxicity in exfoliated buccal cells of children living in a region with chipboard industries. These findings, combined with previously reported associations between chipboard industrial activities and respiratory outcomes in children, add to concerns about potential adverse effects of industry-related exposures in the Viadana district. http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1307259, Introduction Industrial wood manufacturing may be a source of several ambient air pollutants. Mechanical woodworking emits mainly wood dust. In the chipboard production process, urea-formaldehyde resins are commonly used to [...]

49. Incidence of asthma and mortality in a cohort of young adults: a 7-year prospective study

Abstract

Abstract Background Few longitudinal data exist on the incidence of asthma in young adults and on the overall mortality risk due to asthma. A 7-year follow-up prospective study was performed to assess the incidence of asthma and mortality from all causes in a cohort of young adults. Methods The life status of a cohort of 6031 subjects, aged 20–44 years, who replied to a respiratory screening questionnaire between 1991 and 1992, was ascertained in 1999. A new questionnaire investigating the history of asthma was subsequently sent to the 5236 subjects who were still alive and residents in the areas of the study. 3880 subjects (74%) replied to the second questionnaire. Results The incidence of adult-onset asthma was 15.3/10,000/year (95%CI:11.2–20.8). The presence of asthma-like symptoms (IRR:4.17; 95%CI:2.20–7.87) and allergic rhinitis (IRR:3.30; 95%CI:1.71–6.36) at baseline were independent predictors of the onset of asthma, which was more frequent in women (IRR:2.32; 95%CI:1.16–4.67) and increased in the younger generations. The subjects who reported asthma attacks or nocturnal asthma symptoms at baseline had an excess mortality risk from all causes (SMR = 2.05; 95%CI:1.06–3.58) in the subsequent seven years. The excess mortality was mainly due to causes not related to respiratory diseases. Conclusion Asthma occurrence is a relevant public health problem even in young adults. The likelihood of developing adult onset asthma is significantly higher in people suffering from allergic rhinitis, in women and in more recent generations. The presence of asthma attacks and nocturnal symptoms seems to be associated with a potential excess risk of all causes mortality.

50. Reconstructions: the extemporariness as a rule

Abstract

A destructive earthquake occurs in Italy every 5-6 years; complex and expensive reconstructions lasting over decades follow. Loans provided by the State to deal with the various reconstructions sum up and, at present, undertake the country until 2028, with annual costs greater than 4 billion Euros. The lack of a general law to regulate the reconstruction appears in these conditions incomprehensible; each earthquake is managed rewriting "new rules and procedures to always solve the same problems", undergoing the pressure of politics, media and economic interests of the area. Because of this, the cost increases and enormous problems of equity occur between citizens victims of different earthquakes and often, even within a single reconstruction. In times of crisis, to find the resources for such operations is increasingly difficult; in quiet time - the truce between the last and the next earthquake - it would be necessary to address and solve this huge problem as part of a general policy of seismic risk reduction.
