[The occupational risks in a company producing aluminum alloy wheels].

An environmental hygiene study was carried out in a factory making aluminium alloy wheels via pressure moulding. Physical risk factors (noise and microclimate) and chemical risk factors (respirable dust, mineral oils, solvents, fluorides, formaldehyde, CO) were assessed. Analysis of the data showed that physical risk factors were prevalent, whereas chemical pollution was insignificant due to technical improvements made by the management in the course of several redesigns of the plants.

[Pollution by nitrous dioxide during diagnostic laparoscopy interventions].

Here we have outlined the data relative to an environmental survey carried out in a laparoscopy clinic at the hospital of Padua, to determine the environmental concentration of nitrous dioxide (N2O) used for intra-abdominal inflation during diagnostic laparoscopy interventions. The data obtained have revealed cases of considerable N2O environmental pollution. This above all, due to spontaneous loss of gas during the intervention and to the lack of adequate ventilation systems.
