“…There have been many epidemiological studies of brain tumor risks in relation to occupational exposures to electric and magnetic fields, and most of such studies found no evidence to support the hypothesis that exposure to electric and magnetic fields is a risk factor for glioma [5,6,7]. …”

Background: In this reported case, 7 years after the start of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) developed around the implanted DBS lead. Case Report: The brain tumor formed from the subcortical white matter to the corpus callosum bilaterally around the DBS lead but did not extend in the direction of the contact points of the lead. The GBM showed a typical invasion pattern of the butterfly type. We report the first case of GBM that developed 7 years after the start of STN-DBS. Conclusion: Considering the low rate of GBM occurrence in association with DBS, the location of the glioma, and the pattern of tumor invasion, we speculate that GBM developed spontaneously and extended to some degree around the DBS lead. Moreover, there is a very slight possibility that continuous electrical brain stimulation itself induced the development of the brain glioma.

“…No se encontró un aumento en el riesgo de estos cánceres entre 28.224 sujetos con más de 3 meses de empleo, en quienes no se había diagnosticado cáncer antes del primer empleo. 35 realizaron un estudio de casos y controles con 414 casos histológicamente confirmados de glioma (diferenciados en alto y bajo grado) y 412 controles de Melbourne, Australia. Recolectaron la historia ocupacional detallada y estimaron la exposición ocupacional a CEM a través de 3 métodos: auto-reportado, revisión por un higienista experto y a través de una matriz de exposición laboral ( JEM).…”

ResumenLos campos electromagnéticos (CEM) están presentes en todos los ambientes en dónde se utiliza energía eléctrica. Toda la población se encuentra expuesta a CEM, pudiendo éstos producir efectos en la salud.Este trabajo pretende constatar si existe relación entre la exposición ocupacional a CEM y el desarrollo de cáncer.Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en siete bases de datos: MEDLINE, COCHRANE, WOK, IBECS, LILACS, EMF-portal y SCOPUS. Como criterio de inclusión, se tuvieron en cuenta los artículos publicados entre 2000 y 2017, el tipo de artículo, el idioma y que la población expuesta a CEM fuese únicamente ocupacional.La presente revisión sistemática encuentra resultados contradictorios entre la exposición ocupacional a CEM y el desarrollo de cáncer, por tanto, no se puede llegar a una conclusión sólida. La evidencia parece demostrar que altos niveles de exposición a CEM podrían aumentar el riesgo de padecer ciertos tipos de cánceres.Debido a la diversidad de resultados obtenidos, se deberían realizar nuevos estudios con una mejor calidad metodológica y con un número suficiente de trabajadores expuestos a dosis altas de CEM. Por último, deberían aplicarse en todos los estudios medidas o matrices de exposición homogéneas para permitir la mejor comparación de resultados.Med Segur Trab (Internet). 2019;65(255):139-59 Palabras clave: campos electromagnéticos, exposición ocupacional, cáncer.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Relación entre la exposición ocupacional a Campos Electromagnéticos y riesgo de desarrollar cáncer: una Revisión Sistemática Abstract Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are present at any place where electric energy is used. There is a permanent risk of developing adverse health consequences, since population is exposed to EMF.This work aims to investigate if any relation between the occupational exposure to EMF and its cancer associated risks took place.A systematic review of the literature was carried out in seven databases: MEDLIE, COCHRANE, WOK, IBECS, LILACS, EMF-portal and SCOPUS. The articles published between 2000 and 2017, the article type, language, and just occupationally exposure population were taken into account in the inclusion criteria.Contradictory results between occupational EMF exposure and the risk of developing cancer were found by this systematic criteria. Nevertheless, evidence seems to demonstrate that high-level EMF exposure might arise the risk of causing any type of cancer.Given that diversity of results found, new studies should be done with a better methodological quality and an enough number of workers exposed to EMF high levels. In closing and in order to obtain a better result comparison, standard EMF exposure measurements should in every single future study be applied.Med Segur Trab (Internet). 2019;65(255):139-59 INTRodUCCIóN Los efectos de los campos electromagnéticos han suscitado interés y curiosidad desde la antigüedad.

“…During the past 20 years, a number of studies have examined the possibility that occupational exposure to hazardous chemical substances increases the risk for various diseases (Karipidis 2007). The incidence of environmental exposures on the general status of health has been increasingly acknowledged for numerous diseases (Melissa et al 2006).…”

Environmental Concerns of the Tanning Industry

Environmental Deterioration and Human Health

Tanning industry wastes pose a serious environmental impact on water (with its high oxygen demand, discolouration and toxic chemical constituents), terrestrial and atmospheric systems. Tannery waste characteristically contains a complex mixture of both organic and inorganic pollutants. The major public concern over tanneries has traditionally been about odours and water pollution from untreated discharges. Important pollutants associated with the tanning industry include chlorides, tannins, chromium, sulphate and sulphides, organic chemicals pesticides, dyes and finishing agents. These substances are frequently toxic and persistent, and affect both human health and the environment. High pollutant loads, involving chromium, can interfere with key biological processes used in sewage treatment plants. These pollutants may also damage the ecology of the receiving waters in the vicinity of the discharge points. Direct contact with some industrial chemicals can cause disability, illness (toxigenic/carcinogenic) and death in humans. Chlorophenols are the most predominant phenolic compounds in the tanning industry and are well known for their biocidal activities and have been found to be toxic, possibly mutagenic to terrestrial biota. Chromium appears to be the most damaging of these wastes, and in its hexavalent form it has a high level of toxicity, with chronic effects associated with cancer. The main contaminants and pollutants related to the leather sector are discussed in this chapter.
