ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar los valores de la bacteria e indicador fecal Escherichia coli (EC) para aguas de mar de uso seguro y recreacional de la playa Pucusana, Lima. Materiales y Métodos: Las campañas de muestreos se realizaron una vez por semana en el estío del 2019 y fueron procesados en el Laboratorio de Microbiología de la FCB de la Universidad Ricardo Palma mediante colimetría y el método del número más probable (NMP). Resultados: Se comprobó la presencia de EC en todas las muestras analizadas, con valores promedio superiores a 1000 NMP/100 ml. en todas las muestras recogidas. Diez cepas fueron enviadas al INS que determinó que no existe ningún serotipo patogénico, y de acuerdo con regulación peruana la calificación es inaceptable. Conclusiones: Se demuestra la carencia de salubridad ambiental y su relevancia en salud pública. Los factores de riesgo son producidos principalmente por la producción y vertido de las aguas residuales llevados por los colectores al mar y aunque una importante proporción de estas aguas son procesadas en la Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales PTAR Pucusana se identificaron vertimientos domésticos y municipales que descargan al Pacífico, problemática que debe tener un buen manejo y fiscalización ambiental porque deteriora el medio ambiente sobre todo los mares.
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the values o f the bacteria and fecal indicator Escherichia coli (EC) for seawater of safe and recreational use of the Pucusana beach, Lima. Materials and Methods: The campaigns of samplings were carried out once a week in the summer of 2019 and were processed in the microbiology laboratory of the Faculty of Biological Sciences (FCB) of the Ricardo Palma University using colimetry and the method of the most probable number (NMP). Results: The presence of EC was verified in all the analyzed samples, with average values higher than 1000 MPN/100 ml. in all collected samples. Conclusions: The lack of environmental health and its relevance in public health is demonstrated. The risk factors are produced mainly by the production and discharge of wastewater. residuals carried by the collectors to the sea and although an important proportion of these waters are processed at the PTAR Pucusana Wastewater Treatment Plant. Domestic and municipal discharges that discharge into the Pacific were identified, a problem that must have good management and environmental control because it deteriorates the environment and the seas.
ABSTRACT
O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o estilo e qualidade de vida dos coletores de resíduos e comparar seus respectivos domínios. Estudo transversal e analítico, realizado com 43 coletores de resíduos de uma cidade do interior de Minas Gerais. Utilizou-se um formulário contendo dados socioeconômicos e demográficos, WHOQOL-Bref e o Estilo de vida Fantástico (EVF). Os resultados mostraram que houve associação significativa entre os resultados do questionário WHOQOL-Bref e EVF (p<0,05), indicando que maiores escores de qualidade de vida estão associados a melhores estilos de vida. Apesar das condições adversas inerentes ao trabalho executado pelos coletores e as causas externas a ele, como clima, odor, peso, esforço físico e baixos salários, houve avaliação satisfatória para as questões que compõem a Qualidade de Vida e o estilo de vida. A partir do exposto, ficou evidente que o trabalho, saúde, qualidade e estilo de vida se relacionam e determinam o perfil do trabalhador tanto na vida subjetiva quanto na laboral.
The study aimed to analyze the style and quality of life of waste collectors and, to compare its respective domains. A cross-sectional and analytical study, conducted with 43 waste collectors of an inner city in Minas Gerais state. We used a form containing socio-economical and demographic data, WHOQOL-Bref and the Estilo de Vida Fantástico EVF (FANTASTIC Lifestyle Assessment - Brazilian version). The results showed that there was a significant association between the results from the WHOQOL-Bref and EVF (p<0.05), indicating that higher quality of life scores are associated with better lifestyles. Despite the adverse conditions inherent from work executed by the collectors and its external causes, like the weather, odor, weight, physical effort, and low salaries, there was a satisfactory assessment for questions composing quality of life and lifestyle. From the exposed, it was evident that the work, health, quality of life and lifestyle are related and determine the worker's profile in their subjective life, as well as, in their work life.
