Nowadays only a few studies on biological and environmental risk among healthcare workers are available in literature. The present study aims to assess the health operator's risk of contact with microorganisms during necropsy activities, to evaluate the efficiency of current protections, to identify possible new sources of contact, and to point out possible preventive measures. In addition, considering the current pandemic scenario, the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the dissection room is assessed. The objectives were pursued through two distinct monitoring campaigns carried out in different periods through sampling performed both on the corpses and at the environmental level.
目前，文献中仅有少数关于医护人员生物和环境风险的研究。本研究旨在评估解剖过程中医务人员接触微生物的风险，评估当前防护措施的效率，确定可能的新接触源，并指出可能的预防措施。此外，鉴于当前的大流行情况，评估了在解剖室中 SARS-CoV-2 感染传播的风险。通过在不同时期进行的两次独立监测活动来实现这些目标，通过对尸体和环境水平进行采样来完成。
