Article Synopsis
- The study took place in a "cotto" manufacturing facility in Chianti Fiorentino, employing around 400 workers and revealing silica exposure levels exceeding occupational limits.
- An investigation assessed the health of 227 workers, finding a high prevalence of smoking and some cases of airway obstruction and interstitial lung diseases linked to silica exposure.
- The findings underscore the necessity for improved collaboration between occupational health professionals to standardize health surveillance and enhance disease prevention strategies related to silica exposure.
Responses of atrial natriuretic peptide and other fluid regulating hormones to long distance swimming in the sea.
Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol
November 1994
The plasma hormonal response following a swimming competition in the sea (18 km) was evaluated in 12 top level male endurance swimmers. At the end of the effort, while plasma renin activity (PRA) and aldosterone concentration (ALDO) were unchanged, a significant increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) concentrations were recorded. These changes were associated with a decrease in haematocrit and an increase in Na+ and Cl- plasma concentrations.
