Abstract
The atomic parity-violation (APV) parameter Q_W for a nucleus with n neutrons and z protons has been included in the list of pseudo-observables accessible with the codes TOPAZ0 and ZFITTER. In this way one can add the APV results in the LEP EWWG "global" electroweak fits, checking the corresponding effect when added to the existing precision measurements.
