Brief Summary

Employees of household waste incineration plants (UIOM) are exposed to multiple chemical substances that can pose a risk to their health. The studies carried out find increases in certain toxic chemicals (heavy metals, dioxins), in the biological fluids of employees (blood, urine), in particular before the 2000s Another study conducted by Tait finds potential organic alterations.The investigators wish to complete the dissertation work with, in particular, an analysis of the quantitative elements of the exposure assessment (metrologies and biometrologies)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Retrospective evaluation of the identified chemical exposures of certain employees of a household waste incineration plant (UIOM) in order to deduce the risk to their health.

  The study is based on a retrospective analysis of existing data in the files of patients treated by the occupational medicine department

  Files analysed retrospectively from 01 January 2013 to 01 September 2022 will be examined

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population
