[Monitoring of laborers previously exposed to aromatic amines, in accordance with Circulars No. 46 of 12/6/1979 and No. 61 of 4/6/1981 of the Ministry of Labor].
The present report deal, a year after its beginning, with the results of a programme for health control regarding 592 ex-employees of Società Bergamasca Industrie Chimiche. Azo dyes were obtained from benzidine and beta-naphthylamine in this factory from 1947 to 1968. The report analyses the organizing difficulties and the troubles which caused a scarce performance of the programme at different levels: the subjects interested in the control, the Commission responsible for the district, the doctors in charge, the laboratories, the hospital division. In the end some proposals are advanced referring to the provision of the ministerial circular letter no 46, dated june 12, 1979, about the medical control of workers who leave the hazardous working job.
