Two model examples are described to show what problems are encountered when applying them in interiors, in this case in schools. It is demonstrated that as a matter of principle all measures to fight insect pests in our living and working environment must be first and foremost critically considered in the light of controlling or exterminating the pest on the one hand and preventing possible health risks involved in the action, on the other. From the aspect of protective health measures it must be concluded that the examples cited here sound a note of severe warning to abstain as far as possible from using long-term pesticides--including pyrethroids--that dangerously contaminate the aerosol.</p>","PeriodicalId":75776,"journal":{"name":"Das Offentliche Gesundheitswesen","volume":"53 10","pages":"662-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12998502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main riskfactor associated to development of head/neck-cancer is the chronical consumption of tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco contains different types of well known carcinogens (tobaccospecific nitrosamins, polycyclic aromatic carbonates PAH). Alcohol by itself is not described as carcinogen. The multiplicative effect on the carcinogenic potency of tobacco in head/neck-cancer caused by alcohol consumption is well documented in many epidemiological studies. Enquires were directed at occupational exposure to substances like asbestos, solvents, coal products, welding fumes, wood dust, cement and many other substances. Different authors could show that socioeconomic factors, dietary habits and life style are associated to an elevated head/neck-cancer risk, independent of alcohol and tobacco consumption.</p>","PeriodicalId":75776,"journal":{"name":"Das Offentliche Gesundheitswesen","volume":"53 10","pages":"674-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12998505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
