PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE TO MINERAL FIBRES: THA CASE OF A RURAL AREA IN THE BASILICATA REGION, ITALY
The main aspects of the sites characterized by environmental exposure to
mineral asbestiform fibres are described. Several adverse health effects including high incidence of pleural
mesothelioma are reported. The average concentration of airborne fibres is generally low but it rises
significantly in association with mechanical disturb of materials with fibres. Multiple sources of exposure
have been identified, fibres can be found in the soil and in many materials locally used, mainly in buildings.
Three mesothelioma cases were observed in a small rural area of the Basilicata region (Italy). Two of them
had a possible occupational exposure to asbestos, the third had a proved environmental exposure to tremolite.
This fibre, found in the area, is the same observed in two of the three biological samples analysed
Consensus Conference Health surveillance of resident population exposed to tremolite in Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ. Rome 22-23 February 2005
Summary (Consensus Conference “Health surveillance of resident population exposed to tremolite
in Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ”. Rome 22-23 February 2005). Herein is reported the
health surveillance document agreed upon during the Consensus Conference held in Rome at the Istituto
Superiore di SanitĂ last year. The aim of the consensus conference was to define guidelines for epidemiologic
and health surveillance of the resident population in the area of the Basilicata region exposed
to tremolite pollution (Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ). The health surveillance program for
residents and the nested epidemiologic study evaluates for each resident willing to participate, individual
exposure with a personal dosimeter, as well as the prevalence of obstructive, restrictive or mixed pulmonary
functional patterns, searching for fiber and asbestos bodies in induced-sputum, the prevalence of non
malignant asbestos disturbances related to pleural anomalies and, last but not least, provides information
on risks and sensitization, advising on personal behaviour that could reduce the risks
