Although many studies have been performed to evaluate the environmental impact of coal energy production, few studies are available on the health risk for the people working in coal power plants. A retrospective cohort study was performed on the workers of two power plants near Venice (which use coal since 1968) in order to test the association between exposure to coal dust and ashes and mortality for all causes, all cancers, and respiratory and digestive cancer. One thousand three hundred seven male workers were followed up from 1968 to 1984. During this period 41 workers died; causes of death were collected from the local Mortality Registers and/or from the Hospital Records. The observed mortality of the study cohort was compared with the mortality expected from the Italian death rates in the same period. No Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) was found in excess in the working cohort with respect to the standard population for any of the investigated effects.
尽管已经开展了许多研究来评估煤炭能源生产对环境的影响，但关于在燃煤电厂工作的人员的健康风险的研究却很少。对威尼斯附近两座发电厂（自1968年起使用煤炭）的工人进行了一项回顾性队列研究，以检验接触煤尘和煤灰与全因死亡率、所有癌症死亡率以及呼吸道和消化道癌症死亡率之间的关联。1968年至1984年期间对1307名男性工人进行了随访。在此期间，41名工人死亡；死亡原因从当地死亡率登记册和/或医院记录中收集。将研究队列的观察死亡率与同期意大利死亡率预期的死亡率进行了比较。在工作队列中，就任何所调查的影响而言，未发现相对于标准人群的标准化死亡比（SMR）过高。
