Determinación de los niveles de plomo en sangre en trabajadores de fábricas de baterías ubicadas en Guayaquil-Ecuador

Abstract: El plomo es uno de los metales pesados más tóxicos y la exposición humana, por razones laborales, a este metal, puede causar plumbemia. El objetivo de la investigación fue generar una línea base sobre las concentraciones de plomo en sangre de un grupo de trabajadores de fábricas de baterías en Guayaquil-Ecuador y de un grupo control no expuesto laboralmente al metal, con el fin de establecer la existencia de riesgo ocupacional entre sexos, edades y puestos de trabajo. Para ello, se procedió a tomar muestras de… Show more

“…21 µg / dL) of lactating women from the Ecuadorians Andes 39 , and in the city of Guayaquil the presence of Pb in the blood (0.7 µg / L, max. 2.2 µg / dl) was evidenced in people not exposed to this heavy metal at work 40 . On the other hand, there is occupational exposure to lead in battery factory workers in the city of Guayaquil (3.80-38.30 μg/dL) 40 and in sites of widespread production of Pb glazed tiles and other ceramics in the south of Quito 41 .…”

“…2.2 µg / dl) was evidenced in people not exposed to this heavy metal at work 40 . On the other hand, there is occupational exposure to lead in battery factory workers in the city of Guayaquil (3.80-38.30 μg/dL) 40 and in sites of widespread production of Pb glazed tiles and other ceramics in the south of Quito 41 . In children from the population of La Victoria and El Tejar, values of 6.6-119.1 µg / dL were found to be associated with the consumption of water, food, and dust contaminated with lead as a result of glazing of ceramics and were reflected in the health of children as impaired visual pursuit, a deficit in cognitive/perceptual abilities in math calculation skills, neurological deficits in fine motor, perceptual, and non-verbal reasoning skills 41 , and in adults, sensory-neural hearing loss in men, which may be attributable to occupational noise exposure in combination with Pb intoxication 42 .…”
