Il ruolo del medico competente nella valutazione del rischio chimico.
No full textThe Author describes the process of chemical risk assessment to be implemented in the workplace, which must lead to the characterization of risk, and thus to estimate the probability of adverse health effects can occur. It is a multi-step and multi-disciplinary activity carried out in close collaboration between the Head of Prevention and Protection Service (which is able to use the accountability of managers and supervisors and the involvement of representatives of workers' safety) and occupational physician who, through its crosstraining, can and should be the connective tissue of the entire operation: in fact he is the only professional figure able to link together health and safety in the workplace. The Author recalls the importance of using biological monitoring procedure, which must always be used especially when the evaluation is to use simplified measures such as algorithms
Il problema dei valori limite: confronto tra limiti di legge italiani e quelli di organismi internazionali
No full textAbstract
This paper describes the initiatives of the Italian Association of Industrial Hygienists (AIDII) and those of the Italian Society of Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene (SIMLII) concerning the issue of threshold limit values in the workplace, until the establishment of the Joint Working Group on "Analysis of Parliamentary Act D.Lgs 25/02 and the role of Scientific Societies in the definition of Limit Values". Some threshold limit values currently determined by Italian legislation are discussed and criticized, and compared to those determined by international committees. The authors emphasize the need for a more active role on the part of AIDII and SIMLII in implementing the threshold limit values defined by the European Community

No full textAbstract
The Authors draw the attention on the critical topics of the occupational exposure assessment according to the criteria of the UNI EN 689/1997: air sampling strategy to characterize spatial and time variability of pollutant concentrations. They present a preliminary scheme to identify the sources and the chemical agents in the workplace and lead into discussion of critical topics on sampling strategy, instruments and analysis for the measurement, the particle size distribution and the chemical characterization of inorganic particles (silica, ultrafine particles), organic (wood dusts) and fibers (asbestos, synthetic fibres)
