Article Synopsis
- Traffic-related air and noise pollution significantly impact public health, particularly affecting allergic and respiratory conditions in adults and the elderly population.* -
- A study involving 645 residents in Pisa, Italy, found that many reported exposure to traffic-related pollution, with higher odds of allergic rhinitis linked to vehicular traffic and elevated noise levels, especially in older individuals.* -
- The research underscores the importance of understanding how traffic-related exposure affects the elderly, given the growing aging population worldwide.*
Objectives: to assess the association between the occupational sector and respiratory mortality in the metropolitan longitudinal studies of Rome and Turin.
Design: retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: the 2011 census cohorts of residents of Rome and Turin aged 30 years and older who had worked for at least one year in the private sector between 1970s and 2011 was analysed.
Objectives: occupational exposure to vapours, gases, dusts and fumes (VGDF) plays an important role in the development and exacerbation of respiratory diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible association of occupational exposure to airborne pollutants and chronic respiratory diseases.
Design: multicase-control study.
Objectives: appropriate assessment of exposure to air pollution is crucial for the estimation of adverse effects on human health, both in the short and long term. Within the BIGEPI project, different indicators of long-term exposure to air pollution, in association with mortality by cause, were tested within the Italian longitudinal metropolitan studies (LMS). This allowed an evaluation of differences in effect estimates using the different exposure indicators.

Design: closed cohort.
Setting And Participants: subjects aged >=30 years, who took part in the 2011 census, residents in 5 cities (Turin, Bologna, Rome, Brindisi and Taranto).
