“…Due to their high concentration of radionuclides, studies report that Brazil nuts are radioactive (Turner et al 1958;Smith 1971). The occurrence of cancer is among the risks associated with the ingestion of radioactive foods, and monitoring is a form of health protection (Irigaray et al 2007;Celik 2008).…”

A study was carried out to evaluate the association of levels of radioactivity, selenium and aflatoxin in shelled Brazil nuts, which were classified in different sizes, for export. The selenium determinations were performed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (LOQ = 3.0 µg g -1 ), and aflatoxins were detected by Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LOQ = 0.85 µg kg -1 ), recovery rates were between 92 and 100%. Radioactivity was measured by high-resolution gamma spectrometry. The selenium mean concentration was (22.7 ± 7.4) µg g Ra. There was no statistically significant association between the level of selenium and the activity of radionuclides, however, there was correlation between the radionuclides. Aflatoxins above the quantification limit were not found. Keywords: radioactivity; selenium; Bertholletia excelsa. Castanha do Brasil: determinação de elementos naturais e aflatoxinas resUMoUm estudo foi realizado para avaliar a associação dos níveis de radioatividade, selênio e aflatoxinas em castanha-do-Brasil descascada, que foram classificadas em diferentes tamanhos, para exportação. As determinações de selênio foram realizadas por espectrometria de emissão óptica com plasma indutivamente acoplado (LOQ=3,0 µg kg -1 ) e aflatoxinas foram detectadas por LC-MSMS (LOQ=0,85 µg kg -1 ), as taxas de recuperação ficaram entre 92 e 100%. A radioatividade foi medida por espectrometria gama de alta resolução. A concentração média de selênio foi de (22,7 ± 7,4) Ra. Não houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre o nível de selênio e a atividade de radionuclídeos, no entanto, houve correlação entre os radionuclídeos. Não foi encontrado aflatoxinas acima do limite de quantifcação. PAlAvrAs-chAve: radioatividade, selênio, bertholletia excelsa.

“…[106][107][108] However, despite the enormous financial resources utilized, oncologists, researchers, and public health authorities, rather than concentrating on preventing cancer, have focused on treating it once it strikes. 109 While chemotherapeutic drugs are showing their limits now, target therapies still have to demonstrate their real efficacy, and immunological therapies, which aroused great interest in the 1980s, now are having to deal with the numerous facets of tumor immunosuppression.…”
