[Soft tissue sarcomas in Mantua: epidemiological evidence and perspectives for environmental remediation].

Subsequently to the report by a general practitioner of an apparent cluster of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in thepopulation resident in the neighbourhood of Mantua chemical industries, two independent epidemiological studies (an incidence study and a case-control study) confirmed the original observation and extended the findings in a wider time-span. The two studies are reviewed in the present paper in order to analyze concordant and diverging findings. In the light of the available evidence, recommendations for further studies are presented and perspectives of environmental remediation are discussed.

[Active and passive smoking: two sides of the same medal].

The authors underline the similarities between active and passive smoking under many features, i.e. chemical and physical composition, the kind of health risks, the anti-educational impact on the youth. The special character of passive smoking is also discussed, such as its multiplicative exposure effect on the population, and the hazard to high-risk people like children, pregnant women, and respiratory and cardiovascular patients.
