    Notes: Abstract An epidemiological study, aiming to assess the extent of the exposure to tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) of the population involved in the Seveso accident, needs an effective information system, able to answer the questions usually asked — such as: why? what? who? where? when? how long? — and therefore concerning the wide range of the expected events, from the early cases till the ones expected in the long term. The paper is concerned with evaluation of possible use of chloracne as indicator of human exposure to TCDD, taking into account from one hand chloracne itself (i.e. its latency period, sensitivity, specificity, predictive value of diagnosis, etc) and, from the other, the development of the observational process. Moreover, the paper points out the role of the dermatological findings as representative — more than and before the other clinical findings — of the exposure conditions in the polluted area. The group of subjects classified as ≪ chloracne ≫ by the end of the second screening (May, 1977) included 187 cases, 164 of which were children 0-14 yrs old by the 10th of July 1976; 34 out of 164 were diagnosed in September–December 1976, the other 13,0 were diagnosed within the screening program. The results of a survey concerning their exposure data, clinical and laboratory findings are detailed. Finally, some remarks are made related to the quality of data. The Authors emphasize that the reliability of assessment of health status of the exposed population depends not only upon a comprehensive a posteriori analysis of the different sets of clinical findings, but also upon the degree of integration of the professional staffs involved at operational levels. This statement has the obvious consequence that the assessment of human exposure to TCDD, using chloracne as a reliable marker, needs a multidimensional approach.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports the results of a study conducted by the Italian Association for Immuneprophylaxis promotion (AIPI) with the aim of surveying the attitudes and perceptions of Italian health care workers regarding the use and efficacy of influenza vaccine. The results clearly show that a high proportion of the questioned health care workers showed a general lack of concern about the severity of the disease. Doubts about vaccine efficacy and fear of post-vaccination side effects were also observed to have an important influence on the vaccination acceptance rates. These data underline the need for a systematic education program to provide influenza vaccination within the public and private health-care sectors in Italy.

    Notes: Summary The authors report the results of their search for rubella neutralizing antibodies in the sera of 563 healthy subjects, aged 0 to 30 years, living in Milan, Italy. The survey was performed using rubella strain “Judith” and SIRC cells. It is shown that rubella is widespread among the young population of Milan, mainly as an inapparent infection. 88.3% of the subjects have neutralizing antibodies at birth. These disappear almost completely between 6 and 12 months. Subsequently, conversion to positivity takes place quite rapidly: at 3–6 years 55.6% of the individuals have measurable neutralizing antibodies, at 10–15 years only 9.3% are negative, and 69.6% have a titre ⪚1∶16. Negative individuals increase again in the older age groups. The possible explanations for these findings are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Annual consumption of trichloro- (TRI) and tetrachloroethylene (PER) in the Milan city area is estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 tons. Improper use and disposal of TRI and PER for many years have led to a serious pollution of groundwater, which is used untreated by 1,750,000 inhabitants through the municipal aqueduct. Two separate sub-areas of the city were considered, namely zone A (TRI and PER concentrations: 80 and 20μg/L, respectively) and zone B (12 and 4μg/L). Trento, a 70,000 inhabitants town of northern Italy, supplied with drinking water not contaminated with TRI and PER, was chosen as a control (zone C). Atmospheric levels of TRI and PER were also measured: TRI concentrations were similar in zones A and B (7.6 and 7.1 mg/m3), but higher levels of PER were found in zone A (14.8vs 9.5μg/m3), where many dry-cleaning laundries are located. In human subjects from the three zones, the total exposure to TRI and PER was biologically evaluated by measuring the plasmatic level of their metabolite trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Median plasmatic TCA levels were 38.2μg/L in zone A, 19.0 in zone B and only 7.5 in the control zone. The observed differences were highly significant, and unrelated to sex, age, body weight, residence, and the amount of water consumption.
