    The 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work was amended by the International Labour Conference at its 110th meeting in June 2022. The adopted resolution decided the inclusion of a safe and healthy working environment as the fifth category of fundamental principles and rights at work. It adds two instruments to the eight ILO conventions already considered as fundamental: namely, the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187)

    Brexit. Lo spazio giudiziario europeo in materia civile e commerciale all'alba dell'exit day

    In vista della sua uscita dall’Unione europea il Regno Unito ha adottato nel 2018 il EU (Withdra-wal) Act che prevede come principio generale il mantenimento dell’acquis dell’Unione nella sua legislazione interna in qualità di EU-retained law. Tuttavia nel campo del diritto internazionale priva-to e della cooperazione giudiziaria in materia civile e commerciale il Ministry of Justice, utilizzando i poteri che lo stesso Act gli ha conferito, ha adottato numerose Regulations che revocano la mag-gior parte delle norme uniformi europee ora in vigore. Questo articolo offre una panoramica del probabile assetto che, sulla base dei suddetti provvedimenti, assumeranno le relazioni future tra il Regno Unito e la UE in materia di diritto internazionale privato ed in particolare nei settori della competenza giurisdizionale e del riconoscimento ed esecuzione delle decisioni, dell’insolvenza, del diritto di famiglia, della legge regolatrice delle obbligazioni contrattuali e non contrattuali e ancora in altri campi delle relazioni giuridiche transnazionali di privati e imprese.In view of its exit from the European Union, the United Kingdom adopted in 2018 the EU (Withdrawal) Act that provides as a general principle for the maintenance of the Union acquis in its domestic legislation as “EU-retained law”. In the field of private international law and judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters, however, the Ministry of Justice, acting upon the powers conferred by the Act, has passed several Regulations that revoke most of the European uniform rules now in force. This article offers an overview of the likely legal setting that, in light of the adopted rules, will preside over the UK-EU relationships with respect to matters of pri-vate international law, and in particular to matters of jurisdiction and recognition and enforce-ment of judgments, of insolvency, of family law, of the law applicable to contractual and non contractual obligations, as well as other sectors of cross-border legal issues involving both indi-viduals and companies

    The association between air pollution and the incidence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Northern Italy

    Acute exacerbations and worsening of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been associated with exposure to ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter, but chronic exposure to air pollution might also affect the incidence of IPF. We investigated the association between chronic exposure to NO2, O3 and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <10 \u3bcm (PM10) and IPF incidence in Northern Italy between 2005 and 2010. Daily predictions of PM10 concentrations were obtained from spatiotemporal models, and NO2 and O3 hourly concentrations from fixed monitoring stations. We identified areas with homogenous exposure to each pollutant. We built negative binomial models to assess the association between area-specific IPF incidence rate, estimated through administrative databases, and average overall and seasonal PM10, NO2, and 8-hour maximum O3 concentrations. Using unadjusted models, an increment of 10 \u3bcg\ub7m-3 in NO2 concentration was associated with an increase between 7.93% (95% CI 0.36-16.08%) and 8.41% (95% CI -0.23-17.80%) in IPF incidence rate, depending on the season. After adjustment for potential confounders, estimated effects were similar in magnitude, but with larger confidence intervals. Although confirmatory studies are needed, our results trace a potential association between exposure to traffic pollution and the development of IPF
