Environmental pollution occurring in industrial districts represents a serious issue not only for local communities but also for those industrial productions which draw from the territory the source of their competitiveness. Due to its ability to take into account the needs of different stakeholders, the collective impact approach has the potential to address these problems whereas single actors may not have the resources. The implications of the paper are addressed to institutions for industrial policies which individuate potential courses of action for developing and strengthening clustering-based approaches, as well as implementing viable policies in support of the sustainable competitive model.

Industrial districts (IDs) have developed in many regions and countries of Europe, especially in Italy and southern countries, since the end of the 1970s. This chapter underlines the emerging of this territorial model of development, remembering both the discovery of the phenomenon in European countries and the introduction of the debate and the progressive awareness of territories’ stakeholders and policymakers on the specific features and needs of this kind of organization’s model. Specific attention has been devoted to the transformation’s trajectories of IDs to avoid the risks of collapse. All this requires the capability to introduce active strategies and policies to reproduce dynamic competitive factors. A shared interpretation of the transformation’s process and prospects for IDs should be the basis for collective actions to maintain sustainable development. Lessons for developmental industrial policies are drawn at the end, even for emerging countries and new industrial regions.

Lack Of Knowledge

Inadequate disposal of livestock manure has caused environmental pollution around the village, both water, soil and air (smell). Animal waste in the form of liquid is deliberately flowed into the river while solid waste is left piled up around the cage. The occurrence of odor and pollution is sometimes triggered social conflict, with complaints from local communities. With a population of 35 head of cattle for a farmer group, assuming the average per cow yields 15 kg of solid waste, the waste produced can reach approximately 525 kg per day. The lack of knowledge and the low educational background of the cattle ranchers in the Arabica Village makes the awareness of the environment to be lacking, as well as the technology of processing animal waste and the benefits. Biogas Reaktors of animal waste, although they have heard but lack of knowledge of how to make biogas installations and the assumption that the budget is spent to build the technology makes them prefer to allocate these funds to other things in order for the survival of livestock business can be sustainable. By looking at the existing potential, of course, if managed properly, Arabica Village can become an energy independent village and is a new business opportunity, for biogas products and residues from the installation of biogas in the form of organic fertilizer.

The 1996 political elections have confirmed the electoral importance and stability of the Northern League in the North-east of Italy. The party's strongholds are located in ‘industrial districts’, specific socio-economic areas where local communities and small and medium businesses merge. This paper argues that the resilience and indeed increasing success of the League in these northern areas since its appearance in the 1980s can be explained largely on the basis of their industrial need to move towards a regional representation and organisation, capable of providing the services required by an increasingly competitive market.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
