“…Más allá de esas distancias los niveles de Pb fueron los naturales de suelos rurales en la región. Al comparar con los resultados de las muestras analizadas en 2004, la máxima concentración de Pb en este estudio (9216 µg/g) encontrada dentro del perímetro de la planta, fue significativamente menor al máximo reportado por Manzanares et al (2006) (de 8 4238 µg/g). Asimismo, la media geométrica (354 ± 1351 µg/g) fue significativamente menor a la encontrada en noviembre de 2004 (4940 ± 1 4950 µg/g) con la planta en funcionamiento.…”

“…Por tanto, se concluye que el riesgo de exposición por parte de la población es bajo. Manzanares et al (2006) observaron que incluso en los tiempos en que la planta operaba no se producía un transporte directo de Pb hacia la comunidad de San Ignacio (al este) y por ende, tampoco hacia Río Florido (al noreste) que está más alejado. Los niveles actuales de Pb en las muestras de suelos analizadas en esas comunidades estuvieron entre 20 y 47 y menos de 15 mg/g, respectivamente.…”

Objectives: To identify blood lead predictors and the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in firearm users of public security in Mexico. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 65 males. We obtained sociooccupational data and determined venous blood lead (blood (B), lead (Pb) -BPb), as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms using the Q-16 questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was constructed to assess determinants of BPb. Results: The mean age in the study group was 34.8 years (standard deviation (SD) = 6.9, range: 21-60); the mean number of years spent in the company amounted to 14 years (SD = 8.5, range: 1-48). Twenty percent of the respondents (N = 13) used leaded glazed clay pottery (lead (Pb), glazed (G), and clay pottery (C) -PbGC) in the kitchen. During practice they fired a mean of 72 shots (SD = 60,, and during their whole duration of employment 5483 shots (SD = 8322.5, range: 200-50 000). The mean BPb was 7.6 μg/dl (SD = 6.8, range: 2.7-51.7). Two caretakers from the firing range had 29.6 μg/dl and 51.7 μg/dl BPb. The subjects who had shooting practice sessions ≥ 12 times a year reported a greater percentage of miscarriages in their partners (24% vs. 0%). Twelve percent of the respondents showed an increase in neuropsychiatric symptoms. The BPb multiple linear regression model explained R 2 = 44.15%, as follows: those who had ≥ 12 practice sessions per year -β = 0.5339 and those who used PbGC -β = 0.3651. Conclusions: Using firearms and PbGC contributes to the increased BPb in the studied personnel. The determinants of BPb were: shooting practices >12 times a year and using PbGC. Blood lead concentrations reported in the study, despite being low, are a health risk, as evidenced by the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms.

“…A mean blood lead level (BLL) of 17.1 μg/dL, with a range from 2.0–36.2 μg/dL, was reported in a population living near an industrial facility in Uruguay (Mañay et al 2008). Other sources of exposure include e-waste, lead paint, battery recycling, lead pipes, and the burning of solid waste (Anticona et al 2011; Coria et al 2009; Manzanares-Acuña et al 2006; Sánchez-Cortez et al 2003). Contaminated waste sites and dumps containing industrial, metallurgic, and mining wastes such as La Oroya and el Callao in Peru, Abra Pampa in Argentina, and La Teja in Uruguay are responsible for some of the most severe lead exposure scenarios in the region (Espinoza et al 2003; Garcia and Mercer 2003; Rubio-Andrade et al 2011; Schütz et al1997).…”

BackgroundChronic diseases are increasing among children in Latin America.Objective and MethodsTo examine environmental risk factors for chronic disease in Latin American children and to develop a strategic initiative for control of these exposures, the World Health Organization (WHO) including the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Collegium Ramazzini, and Latin American scientists reviewed regional and relevant global data.ResultsIndustrial development and urbanization are proceeding rapidly in Latin America, and environmental pollution has become widespread. Environmental threats to children’s health include traditional hazards such as indoor air pollution and drinking-water contamination; the newer hazards of urban air pollution; toxic chemicals such as lead, asbestos, mercury, arsenic, and pesticides; hazardous and electronic waste; and climate change. The mix of traditional and modern hazards varies greatly across and within countries reflecting industrialization, urbanization, and socioeconomic forces.ConclusionsTo control environmental threats to children’s health in Latin America, WHO, including PAHO, will focus on the most highly prevalent and serious hazards—indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution, and toxic chemicals. Strategies for controlling these hazards include developing tracking data on regional trends in children’s environmental health (CEH), building a network of Collaborating Centres, promoting biomedical research in CEH, building regional capacity, supporting development of evidence-based prevention policies, studying the economic costs of chronic diseases in children, and developing platforms for dialogue with relevant stakeholders.CitationLaborde A, Tomasina F, Bianchi F, Bruné MN, Buka I, Comba P, Corra L, Cori L, Duffert CM, Harari R, Iavarone I, McDiarmid MA, Gray KA, Sly PD, Soares A, Suk WA, Landrigan PJ. 2015.
