Evaluación de la exposición a polvo de carbón y sílice en minería subterránea en tres departamentos de Colombia

Abstract: Introducción. La neumoconiosis de mineros de carbón es una enfermedad crónica e irreversible que se considera un problema de salud pública.Objetivo. Estimar la prevalencia de neumoconiosis y sus factores asociados en mineros de carbón en Boyacá, Cundinamarca y Norte de Santander.Materiales y métodos. Estudio de corte transversal en 476 mineros. Se realizó valoración médica, radiografía de tórax según criterios de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, espirometrías e identificación de polimorfismos de glut… Show more

“…If this damage is not correctly repaired, it can be potentially devastating to normal cell Frontiers in Genetics frontiersin.org physiology, resulting in mutagenesis and/or cell death. Indeed, damage-induced mutagenesis has been linked to various malignancies (Maynard et al, 2008;Varona et al, 2018). The identification of chrb and chtb in underground coal miners, suggests a heightened susceptibility to develop complex chromosomal rearrangements, such as translocations, inversions, dicentric chromosomes, deletions, and duplications, among others.…”

“…The prevalence of pneumoconiosis was 33.8% (95% CI: 27.0 -41.3%). Pneumoconiosis was significantly associated with the level of severe exposure to coal dust (PR=2.055, 95% CI: 1.043 -4.048; p = 0.038) and work in underground mining for 25 years or more (for those with 25.0-29.9 years: PR = 2,199, 95% CI: 1,449 -3,338; p = 0.001) [8].…”
