“…This study found that the frequency of fish consumption was associated exclusively with mercury levels in hair, which suggests that fish consumption is a good proxy for mercury exposure in this region. This was also evidenced by Costa Junior et al [29] in their study of the Pará region of Brazil and Santos et al in their research on an indigenous population in that country [30].…”

Women are primarily exposed to mercury through the consumption of fish contaminated by gold mining activities. The main systems affected are the central nervous and renal systems, although effects on the reproductive system have also been found. Objective: To explore the relationship between mercury levels in women and their possible sources of contamination. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2013 to 2015 with women residing in 11 municipalities in La Mojana, Colombia, using non-random sampling. Standardized instruments were used to identify sociodemographic characteristics, mercury use, mining-related activities, water and fish consumption, and other factors. Blood, urine, and hair samples were taken to quantify mercury levels. A logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with elevated mercury values in the participants’ samples. A total of 428 women were included, with an average age of 36.7 ± 16.7 years, 3.3% of whom were pregnant at the time of the survey and 8.4% of whom were exposed occupationally. High levels of mercury were present in 62.8% of the women, in any one of the three samples processed. Those exposed occupationally and environmentally had similar values (p = 0.821). Frequency of fish consumption and source of drinking water were associated with higher levels of mercury (p < 0.05).

“…A região PAN-Amazônica compreende uma área total de 5,5 milhões de km A região amazônica se constitui no bioma com a maior biodiversidade de fauna e flora do mundo, o que desperta interesse de inúmeros países pela busca cientifica de identificar e caracterizar novas espécies de animais e plantas, sendo esta última para interesses farmacêuticos para uma ampla aplicação em processos terapêuticos que não possuem e/ou carece de formas de tratamento que leve tanto a cura, quanto o aumento da expectativa de vida da sociedade (CASTRO et al, 2016;JÚNIOR et al, 2018;PIMENTEL et al, 2019). Além disso, a presença de uma grande diversidade cultural em função de tribos indígenas, seringueiros, castanheiros, quebradores de coco de babaçu, ribeirinhos entre outras; se constitui em um patrimônio nacional e mundial (CORNETTA; RÊGO, 2021; DAMAS; BERTOLDO; COSTA, 2014;SÁ et al, 2016;SANTOS et al, 2003;TORREZANI et al, 2016).…”

“…There is a worldwide concern with exposure to mercury, especially in riverine communities where high amounts of contaminated fish are consumed, as this chemical element has adverse health effects. And if women of reproductive age are contaminated, it can also affect reproduction (33)(34)(35)(36) . Studies point to possible problems related to reproduction: increased risk of reduced fertility, spontaneous abortion, congenital deficiencies and/or abnormalities (33)(34)(35) .…”

“…Considering this problem, studies recommend monitoring the levels of mercury in riverine women of reproductive age, since children under 24 months of age, who still do not eat fish, already have concentrations of mercury above the safety level, suggesting intrauterine contamination and/or contamination by breast milk (19,26,(33)(34)(35)(36) .…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence available on the sexual and reproductive health of riverine communities. Method: Integrative review, conducted on the databases LILACS, MEDLINE; WEB OF SCIENCE and SCOPUS, including publications in Portuguese, English or Spanish, without an initial time limit and published until 2018. Results: 11 studies were selected. The studies included are from the period 1993-2017. The results originated four analytical categories: sexual component, which gathered findings about sexually transmitted infections; reproductive component, which included family planning/fertility control, abortion and problems with pregnancy; environmental component, which presented issues with environmental contaminants and its reproductive implications; and the sociocultural component, which discussed gender, beliefs and social indicators. Conclusion: In this review, studies with a quantitative approach, from a female point of view and a biological perspective predominated. No study investigated the meanings and representations of SRH for the riverine communities. In addition, the findings show little evidence of thoughts and practices of people living in riverine communities regarding SRH issues, providing limited evidence.
