A sucata como avesso complementar da contemporaneidade / Scrap as the complementary reverse of contemporaneity / El material de desperdício como el reverso complementario de la contemporaneidad

Este artigo objetiva discutir os significados da sucata na contemporaneidade, apresentando o relato de uma experiência com sucata em oficina de criação espontânea, realizada em uma universidade, como parte de uma investigação sobre os sentidos atribuídos à sucata. Propõe-se, então, a sucata - cujo significado etimológico é objeto sem valor - e as relações que ela mantém, tanto no plano econômico quanto no plano das relações sociais, como objeto e, também, como método de investigação científica. Observamos que a sucata deixa de ser apenas um objeto sem valor para se tornar um meio, um caminho que abre possibilidades de leituras de mundo, de interferências no mundo, de desdobramentos, de vias de escape. Conclui-se, assim, que em toda sua complexidade, a sucata da história (história pessoal e social), pode proporcionar, por meio de sua característica maior - a falta de significado -, a possibilidade de ressignificação, tornando-se um modo, um método, às avessas, em negativo, do contemporâneo.

The main objective of this article is to discuss the meanings associated to refuse/scrap nowadays, presenting a report about an experience conducted in a university campus, exploring scrap workshop spontaneous creation, as part of an investigation into the meanings assigned to it. We focus on the concept of refuse/scrap - whose meaning is associated with worthless material- and the relationships it maintains, both on the economic level and in terms of social relations, and also as object and scientific research method. We can observe that scrap metal ceases to be just worthless object, to become a means and a path, which enables world readings, interference and escape routes in world developments. We conclude, therefore, that in all its complexity, scrap history (personal and social history), despite being considered worthless as its greatest feature, can provide - considering its lack of meaning - the possibility of reframing, becoming a method in reverse, as a negative, of the contemporary.

Estudio del manejo del plomo en establecimientos de tipografía, reconstrucción de baterías y recicladores de chatarra en el departamento del Quindío, Colombia / Study of lead management in typography establishments, battery reconstruction and scrap cecyclers in Quindio (Colombia)

En el 2011, existían en el departamento del Quindío aproximadamente 95 establecimientos comerciales, dedicados a tipografías, reciclaje de chatarra, y reconstrucción de baterías en donde los trabajadores tenían contacto con metales pesados como el plomo (Pb) sin protección alguna. De estos 95 establecimientos, participaron en el estudio el 55% y de estas empresas se encontró que el 80.65% era economía informal, es decir, independientes, unifamiliares y sin afiliación a la Seguridad Social Integral (Salud, Pensión y Riesgos laborales). El riesgo más importante en estos trabajadores es la manipulación consciente o inconsciente del plomo. El Pb se utiliza en su forma metálica y en aleaciones, siendo de los pocos metales que es tóxico por sí mismo. El Pb no tiene una función biológica útil en el hombre, por lo que es preocupante que se hable de cifras normales de este metal en la sangre. La exposición no controlada del Pb genera graves daños a nivel sistémico del organismo, tales como: disminución de la capacidad física, fatiga, trastornos del sueño, cefalea, dolores de huesos y músculos, dolores abdominales, disminución del apetito y en casos muy graves se produce daño en riñones e incluso la muerte.

In 2011, about 95 commercial establishments existed in the department of Quindio, they worked in typography, scrap recycling, and battery reconstruction where workers had contact with heavy metals such as lead (Pb), without any protection. 55 % of these 95 establishments participated in the study, and 80,65% of them worked informally, that is to say people who were independent, single-family, and without Integral Social Security affiliation (health, pension and occupational hazards). The Major risk in these workers is conscious or unconscious manipulation of lead. The Pb is used in metallic form and alloys, being one of the few metals that are toxic by itself. The Pb has no useful biological function in humans, so it is worrying to talk about normal levels of lead in the blood. Uncontrolled exposure of Pb causes serious damage to the body in a systemical level, such as decreased physical fitness, fatigue, sleep disorders, headache, muscle and bone pain, abdominal pain, decreased appetite and, in severe cases, produces kidney damage and even death.

Detection of Cases and a Cause of Lead Exposure in Korean Steel Company / 대한산업의학회지

BACKGROUND: We report cases of high lead exposure in a Korean steel manufacturing company and a likely cause for these cases. CASE REPORT: Neurological examinations, neurobehavioral tests, blood tests, and urine tests were performed to detect an association between high lead exposure and physical symptoms for workers in a steel manufacturing company. In order to determine the cause of high lead exposure, the work process and environment was assessed. The highest lead exposure was during the work process. We found that the interior of an oil storage tank was coated with lead-containing paint, leading to severe exposure during the cutting process. In two observations, 4 of 12 workers diagnosed with occupational disease were found to have high exposure to lead from the storage tank and three had increased beta-2 microglobulin levels in the blood (indicative of urinary tract damage). CONCLUSIONS: Lead management, including routine measurements of the working environment and examinations of lead concentrations in workers, are needed in the korean scrap metal industry. In addition, rules requiring workers to wear personal protective equipment and receive education about lead exposure should be strictly enforced.
