Abstract

Aims: The main aim of this study is to estimate the impact on workers' health caused by hardwood dust exposure in selected industrial sectors in Italy.

Methods: Proportionate mortality ratios (PMR) by cancer site were calculated by linking the information on occupational exposure to carcinogens from the Italian national registry (SIREP, 1996-2018) to the national mortality archives (ISTAT, 2005-2018), assuming a Poisson distribution of the data.

Results: An elevated proportion of deaths from sino-nasal cancer was found in male exposed workers (PMR=4.25, CI 95%=1.37-13.23). Increased proportions of deaths were also found from stomach cancer in both genders (PMR=3.14, CI 95%=1.41-7.00 women; PMR=1.64, CI 95%=1.22-2.19 men).

Conclusions: Although hardwood dust is a known human carcinogen, there are still many high-risk occupational exposure settings. Epidemiological surveillance and continuous monitoring of workers is highly recommended in order to ensure compliance with regulatory obligations and limit the burden of associated mortality causes.

意大利接触硬木粉尘工人的比例死亡率。

目的:本研究的主要目的是估计在意大利选定的工业部门的硬木粉尘暴露对工人健康造成的影响。方法:通过将意大利国家登记处(SIREP, 1996-2018)的致癌物职业暴露信息与国家死亡率档案(ISTAT, 2005-2018)联系起来，假设数据呈泊松分布，计算癌症部位的比例死亡率(PMR)。结果:男性暴露工人鼻中癌死亡比例升高(PMR=4.25, CI 95%=1.37 ~ 13.23)。男女胃癌死亡比例均有所增加(女性PMR=3.14, CI 95%=1.41-7.00;PMR=1.64, CI 95%=1.22-2.19(男性)。结论:虽然硬木粉尘是一种已知的人类致癌物，但仍有许多高风险的职业暴露环境。强烈建议对工人进行流行病学监测和持续监测，以确保遵守监管义务并限制相关死亡原因的负担。
