[Sampling problems in a survey of blood lead levels in city children].

A study on lead pollution was carried out on a sample of ca. 300 city children. This paper presents the errors producing bias in the sample. It is emphasized that, in Switzerland, the difference between the Swiss and the migrant population (the latter being mainly Italian and Spanish) must be taken into account.

[Air pollution in an industrial environment and occupational diseases].

Most of the occupational diseases are related to air pollution at the work place. The distribution of gases and vapours and their human absorption are briefly described. The deposition of particles is a function of their physical properties, of the pattern of the respiratory airways and of pulmonary ventilation parameters. Several defence mechanisms also play a role. Illustrative examples are given of occupational diseases caused by solvents, carbon monoxide, metals, dusts (silicosis, asbestosis, pneumoconiosis due to dust of hard metals), allergens and carcinogens. The importance of prevention is emphasized.
