The goal of this study is to compare anti-latex IgE levels measured by two U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared kits (CAP® System and AlaSTAT® Microplate) in sera obtained from employees in non-healthcare industries. Sera were obtained from 381 workers employed in several, non-healthcare industries over the past 10 years, and stored frozen. All 381 coded sera were analysed for latex-specific IgE using the Diagnostic Products Corporation microplate AlaSTAT® and the Pharmacia-UpJohn CAP® System. Concordance between methods and intra- and inter-assay reproducibility were evaluated. Twenty-six sera gave positive results using the AlaSTAT® assay (26/381, 6.82%), while 24 yielded CAP® positive results (6.30%). There were no significant differences (<i>p</i> = NS) between the assays' measurements of latex-specific IgE antibody levels for all 381 sera, yielding 0.28 ± 0.19 kU L<sup>−1</sup> and 0.34 ± 0.59 kU<sub>A</sub> L<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. AlaSTAT® and CAP® assays agreed on the positive status of 9 (9/381, 2.4%) sera, and the negative status of 340 sera (340/381, 89.2%). The assays yielded discordant results on some individual sera. CAP® discordant results occurred in 17/26 sera (65.4%) of AlaSTAT® positive sera, while AlaSTAT® discordant results were found in 15/24 (57.7%) of the CAP® positive sera. The CAP® System, for instance, detected 0.39–2.3 kU<sub>A</sub> l<sup>−1</sup> (1.03 ± 0.59, [mean ± SD]) of latex-specific IgE in the serum from 15 individuals that were all AlaSTAT® negative. In contrast, the AlaSTAT® detected 0.36–1.6 kU l<sup>−1</sup> (0.62 ± 0.31, [mean ± SD]) of IgE anti-latex in the serum from 17 subjects that were all CAP® negative. These data indicate that the <i>a priori</i> seroprevalence of latex-specific sera IgE is about 6%–7% in non-healthcare workers and that the CAP® and AlaSTAT® assays agree on the positive or negative status of the majority of sera (91.6%). However, caution should be exercised when applying FDA-cleared <i>in vitro</i> assays for latex-specific sera IgE in populations known to have potentially low concentrations of latex-specific IgE antibodies, as there appears to be a finite possibility for these assays to misclassify sera as being positive or negative for latex-specific IgE antibodies.

Another topic of interest is the different symptoms in different buildings constructed with different building materials and with different architectural designs. The term Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is sometimes used to describe irritation to the eyes, skin, and upper airways, headache and fatigue in relation to the indoor environment. The aim of our investigation was to study symptoms in relation to building dampness and type of building in geriatric hospitals. Four hospitals for geriatrics were selected to represent buildings with different ages and design, irrespectively of symptom prevalence. All staff (<i>n</i> = 95) were requested to answer a medical questionnaire, 88 (93%) participated. Measurements of room temperature, relative air humidity, air flow rate, illumination, moulds, bacteria, formaldehyde and other volatile compounds, respirable dust, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone were carried out in all buildings. Statistical analyses were performed by bivariate analysis, and multiple logistic regression, adjusting for possible influence of building age, age of the subjects, gender, tobacco smoke, atopy and the perceived psychosocial work environment. Dampness in the upper concrete floor surface (75–84%), ammonia under the floor [3 parts per million (3 ppm)], and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in the air were detected in two buildings built in 1985 and 1993. Increased occurrence of ocular, nasal and throat symptoms, and dry facial skin were found in the damp buildings. Those in the specially designed building had fewer of these symptoms. In conclusion, the study provides new evidence on possible health effects of dampness-related alkaline degradation of di(2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate (DEPH) in PVC-building material. Emissions related to degradation of DEPH due to dampness in the floor construction, detected by an increase of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in the air, seems to increase the occurrence of ocular, nasal, throat and facial skin symptoms. The indoor environment of one specially designed building with a high ceiling and avoidance of fluorescent lighting and interior plastic materials, seemed to have a positive influence on well-being. Our results support the view that building dampness should be avoided, and shows that it is possible to construct a new building where the inhabitants have few symptoms.

In this paper we concentrate on whether chromium urine concentration (CrU) in 24 h urine samples was associated with changes in the number of lymphocytes in blood samples. The potential confounding effects of age, gender, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), blood lead, blood mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in blood, as well as the concentration of mercury, cadmium and arsenic in 24 h urine samples were controlled for. The numbers of total lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, CD4 helper and CD8 cytotoxic T cells were determined with fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). CrU was categorized into four groups: below detection limit (0.08 μg l<sup>−1</sup>); detection limit to 0.13 μg l<sup>−1</sup>; 0.14–0.22 μg l<sup>−1</sup>; 0.24 μg l<sup>−1</sup> and above. The groups were analysed as predictors of different lymphocyte subpopulations in separate multiple linear regression models adjusted for potential confounders (age, gender, passive smoking, PCB, lead and mercury in whole blood, arsenic, cadmium, mercury in 24 h urine).</p><p>CrU, lymphocyte counts and information on questionnaire data were available for 315 children, aged 7–10 years. We found a statistically significant negative association between the CrU groups and the total T cell count, T-helper (CD4) cell count, absolute number of CD4+CD25+ helper T cells, and CD4+CD45RO+ memory T helper cells. No association was found for CrU groups and white blood cell, total lymphocyte, natural killer cell and B cell counts. With the exception of ETS and blood lead level, no other predictor was of importance for the lymphocytes. The rank correlation suggested a reduction in the number of infections when chromium was increased, even though the cause and effect relationship was not clear. The results illustrated a possible effect of chromium on T-lymphocytes.

A literature search, in conjunction with our own work, was conducted to review these issues. Currently available evidence suggests that early exposure to environmental lead may cause a discernible effect on cognitive development, and this effect seems to persist into later childhood. No threshold is evident down to a blood lead concentration of 5 μg dl<sup>−1</sup>, although there is a paucity of epidemiological data at these lower levels. An economic loss could be serious for children exposed to an excess of lead in their environment. The environmental lead problem is preventable, or, where it is already established, is remediable. It should therefore be addressed, especially in developing countries where rapid industrialisation and increased use of motor vehicles are occurring. There is clear evidence that excessive lead exposure is still a significant public health issue in most countries, particularly developing countries. The formulation of a public health strategy should seek a balance between consideration of the nature and extent of the risk to human population health, knowledge of any dose-effect threshold, estimation of socio-environmental benefits, and commitment to making the best use of existing resources. The development of such a strategy should take into account the views and priorities of all interested parties, and—most certainly—those of communities directly at risk from lead exposure.

Daily records of hospital admissions for children under 13 years old were obtained at the Health State Secretary, covering 112 hospitals in the period from October 1992 to October 1993. Daily levels of PM<sub>10</sub>, ozone, SO<sub>2</sub>, CO and NO<sub>2</sub> were obtained from the environmental state agency (CETESB), while both CETESB and the Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (IAG) of the University of São Paulo provided daily measures of temperature and relative humidity. Daily counts of child respiratory admissions (RESP) were considered as the dependent variable of pollutants in regression models, controlled for months of the year, days of the week, weather factors, and the daily number of non respiratory admissions (NORESP). PM<sub>10</sub> and ozone were the pollutants that exhibited the most robust association with RESP. The mean levels of PM<sub>10</sub>observed during the period of study (70 μg m<sup>−3</sup>) were associated with an increase of 12% in RESP.
