Abstract
The Istituto Superiore di Sanità (National Institute of Health-ISS) has joined forces with a network of Italian scientific institutions operating on a national and regional level and with the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health to develop the SENTIERI Project (Epidemiological Study of Residents in National Priority Contaminated Sites). The objectives, methods and initial results of this study were published in 2010 and 2011 in Epidemiologia & Prevenzione. In the course of 2013, some of the SENTIERI Project findings were published in international scientific journals, and the «SENTIERI approach» was among those sanctioned by the World Health Organization to conduct an initial description of the health status of residents of contaminated sites. This Supplement provides – for each of the 18 National Priority Contaminated Sites (NPCSs) included in the SENTIERI project where the Italian Network of Cancer Registries (AIRTUM) is active – a mortality update to 2010, an investigation of cancer incidence between 1996 and 2005 (in 17 sites) and an analysis of hospital discharges from 2005 to 2010.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
