摘要：An irritant pollution generated by different sources even at moderate level justifies the investigation of early effects both on health and life quality of the resident population. The authors present the results of two epidemiological studies carried out during 1999-2000; the first one about the health effects of pollution around a representative antibiotics factory and the second one of pollution generated by a controlled waste landfill. Morbidity data collected by our usual information system have been used. The relationship between the health status and exposure have been investigated on samples of 86 schoolchildren from the antibiotics factory surrounding area and 135 from the municipal waste landfill neighborhood area versus 88 and respectively, 473 unexposed subjects. Although, the results doesn’t reveal the presence of early symptoms or of a specific pathology, the quality of life seems deeply damaged; though there are different sources of pollution in this areas, all investigated persons specified antibiotics factory and waste landfill as the cause of discomfort. Therefore, an investigation on the discomfort was carried out on these children and a representative sample of adults subjects (262) living in surrounding area of waste landfill.
