Unfortunately, the aging of the population and the increase in the incidence of Chronic No-communicable Diseases (NCDs) are challenges that affect the whole of Brazil. And these besides to adversely affect the economically active population and mainly affect the health of the worker. Aware of this reality, the students of the fourth period of the discipline of Health Education, of the Nursing course and a student master of the course of Integral Attention to Health, in the year 2017, of UNICRUZ, carried out the extension project "Women's Health Project", Aiming to present activities that encouraged the interest of the participants in health care and prevent chronic non-communicable diseases. For the methodological execution of the project, it was used the Retrospective Survey, with a report and discussion of the activities carried out. The project took place in the dependencies of the Profession Project "Profissão Catador", in the city of Cruz Alta, RS, with the participation of approximately 12 women, aged 30-60 years. It is believed that Health Education along with the University and Community connection can be a positive strategy to reach those who do not have access to important information on prevention and health.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the aluminum, cadmium and lead concentrations in vegetables such as lettuce, potatoes, carrots, beets and cassava often consumed in human diet. Calcination and acid digestion methods were used to prepare the samples. The Spike test has shown that the methods were viable for almost all samples. The recovered analyte percentage ranged from 88.0% to 108.7% in the acid digestion, and from 55.1% to 109.6% in the calcination method. Comparative analyses conducted in lettuce samples have shown lead concentrations 26.4 ± 2.6 mg kg -1 in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer (ETAAS) and 33.3 ± 0.3 mg kg -1 in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). The herein presented results allow saying that the concentrations of the elements analyzed in each sample were above the limit set by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and within the tolerance limit set by the Codex Alimentarius.
