Summary

Introduction

A few epidemiologic studies have reported increased risk of circulatory disease among population exposed to ionizing radiation the mechanism has not been established. The possible role of Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) exposure as potential human carcinogen has been extensively studied considering mobile phones use, while until now less effort was devoted to an evaluation of the risk related to other occupational exposures. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education resulted in school closures and the forced implementation of virtual teaching and teleworking. This situation together with the diversity of social and economic contexts in schools, has emphasized inequality in access to quality education and increased stress and anxiety among teachers. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the first medical reason for work stoppage among military personnel and are one of the main reasons for dismissal from army service. Prevalence of MSDs, in particular those of the upper limbs (UL-MSDs), among military officers, is insufficiently known, as well as their risk factors, given the complexity of the military service
