RESUMOA monitorização biológica é utilizada para acompanhar e minimizar a ocorrência de intoxicação de trabalhadores em ambiente ocupacional. Realizar a monitorização biológica por meio do ácido delta aminolevulínico -urinário (ALA-U) de trabalhadores expostos ao chumbo foi objetivo desta pesquisa. O método de espectrofotometria na região do visível foi utilizado para determinação de ALA-U. Os valores de ALA-U estiveram entre 0,5 a 5,5 mg/L, dentre os participantes 65% relataram o uso de EPI e 75% de EPC. A saúde do trabalhador vincula-se às práticas de higiene e uso de equipamentos de proteção assim como a consulta anual ao médico do trabalho e realização de exames periódicos. A realização de exames laboratoriais periódicos deve ser estimulada pelos empregadores para a manutenção da saúde ocupacional de seus empregados.

DETERMINATION OF ALA-U IN CAR ELECTRICAL REPAIR SHOPS AND BODY SHOPS WORKERS OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED TO LEAD FROM PRESIDENTE PRUDENTE, SP. ABSTRACTBiological monitoring is used to monitor and minimize the occurrence of poisoning by workers in the occupational environment. Perform biological monitoring through the delta aminolevulinic acid -urine (ALA-U) of workers exposed to lead was the objective of this research. The spectrophotometric method in the visible region was used for determination of ALA-U. The ALA-U values were from 0.5 to 5.5 mg/L, among the participants 65% reported the use of PPE and 75% CPE. The worker's health is linked to the hygiene practices and use of protective equipment as well as the annual consultation of the doctor's work and performing periodic examinations. Encourage workers exposed to lead in realize laboratory tests should be stimulated by employers and consequently the maintenance of occupational health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
