Abstract: Approximately 600,000 people work as recycling material collectors in Brazil and few studies evaluate the health risks involved this occupation. The objective was to blood levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) mercury (Hg) among workers from sorting facilities (RSF) metropolitan region São Paulo, Brazil, compare results with a non-occupationally exposed population, identify factors associated higher metal levels. Four RSF were selected 226 examined for their factors. mean concentration...
Setting: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Papua New Guinea. Despite a policy for isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) PLHIV, implementation has been slow. Objective: We prospectively evaluated standardized guided screening process, including TB diagnostic support, to increase IPT initiation adult PLHIV on antiretro-viral treatment. Design: The process included paper-based tool that prompted review patient history...
Para viabilizar a futura realização de um Inquérito Nacional Populações Expostas Substâncias Químicas, executou-se projeto-piloto para examinar exequibilidade, testar e adequar metodologias estabelecer parcerias.Foram realizados três estudos corte transversal, respectivamente, com doadores sangue residentes na Região Metropolitana São Paulo-SP, conscritos do Exército Brasileiro crianças escolares no município Rio Janeiro-RJ, mediante aplicação questionários coleta material biológico (sangue...
Resumo: Concentrações de cromo total entre 0,45 e 110µg/L têm sido detectadas, no Sistema Aquífero Bauru (SAB) Estado São Paulo, Brasil, excedendo, algumas vezes, o padrão qualidade adotado pela legislação brasileira, que é 50μg/L. Segundo a Companhia Ambiental do Paulo (CETESB), parte composta forma hexavalente [Cr(VI)], apresenta controversas evidências quanto à carcinogenicidade por via oral. Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar efeito da exposição ao Cr(VI) em baixas doses na...
Introduction: Exposure to particulate matter in urban areas has been linked a broad range of adverse health effects, including mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular respiratory diseases. Metals adsorbed the are also great concern due their toxicity. This study evaluated relationship between metals blood ambient PM10. Methods: We analyzed levels As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Mn Cu sample adults cross-sectional conducted 2009. For each individual we calculated average PM10 air pollution monitoring...
Background and aims: there are many chemical toxicants in the environment capable of producing adverse health effects. Surveillance systems using bio-markers a tool to identify potentially exposed populations sources exposure. A study was conducted assess feasibility implementing such system Brazil multiple biologic matrices. Methods: blood hair samples were obtained from donors attending 10 donation centers metropolitan region Sao Paulo. Hair levels metals (Hg, As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, Se,...
Background and aims: Exposure to methyl mercury lead is a risk factor for neurodevelopment toxicity as these contaminants can cross the placenta. We assessed blood levels in childbearing-aged women explored possible associations with socioeconomic characteristics lifestyle factors. Methods: analyzed data from cross-sectional study conducted metropolitan area of Sao Paulo (MASP) 2009. Results: 126 women, aged 18 – 49 years old (mean 31.5) were included this study. The geometric means (?g/L)...
Abstract In order to find out an alternative traditional environmental policies in the State of São Paulo (Brazil), which have been mainly focused on legal standard compliance for air and water emissions, as well soil contamination, Environmental Agency — CETESB launched a research project entitled Industrial Toxic Substances Use Reduction Programme. The was 2006 with funding from United States Trade Development Agency. Its aim propose new strategies reduce industrial releases toxic...
Os interferentes endócrinos são substâncias químicas de diversas naturezas como hormônios naturais (estrona - E1, estradiol E2, estriol E3), sintéticos (etinilestradiol EE2, utilizado em anticoncepcionais), compostos orgânicos o bisfenol A, praguicidas organoclorados DDT, entre outros, capazes interferir na ação dos hormônios. Com atual quadro demanda hídrica no Estado São Paulo e consequente aumento da exploração água subterrânea, potencial infiltração superficial contaminada por...
