Abstract

The excess of pollution in a territory has important negative implications on health and quality of life of residents and populations in strong and continuous contact, such as workers. The consequences that pollutants have on the population are the subject of extensive literature and research, especially in the medical and epidemiological fields and, depending on the type, may have more or less strong interactions with humans. Taranto is a city with strong industrial presence, with large installations, for productions ranging from steel (ILVA) to cement (Cementir) until petrochemical (ENI) and shipbuilding, which can be classified as pollutant sources. The main objective of this paper is to develop the mortality tables separately for the town of Taranto, as an indispensable tool for accurate analysis and comparison of the death rate in the Ionian area, doing some preliminary considerations on official data currently available, which in some cases are misaligned and suffering from errors, integrating and comparing them with the most recent and reliable data, such as post-census and Taranto’s registry office.
