RESUMEN
El plomo es un metal pesado que se encuentra de forma natural en la corteza terrestre y ha sido distribuido en el ambiente, debido a fuentes fijas o móviles contaminantes antropogénica o naturales. Existen compuestos orgánicos e inorgánicos del plomo, que son liberados al aire durante la combustión del carbono y aceite. Este puede ingresar al organismo por tres vías respiratoria, digestiva y dérmica o cutánea y causar efectos nocivos para la salud del hombre a nivel celular, sin que ni siquiera puedan ser percibidos a corto plazo. El objetivo de la revisión fue exponer las características del plomo y su influencia para la salud de la población. Dados los efectos nocivos del plomo y su influencia para la salud de la población, este es en la actualidad, un motivo de atención especial por constituir una parte importante de la contaminación ambiental presente en muchas ciudades en el mundo(AU)
ABSTRACT
Lead is a heavy metal found in its natural form in Earth's crust, and distributed in the environment by anthropogenic or natural, fixed or mobile sources of pollutants. Organic and inorganic lead compounds are released to the air during carbon and oil combustion. Lead may enter the human body by three routes respiratory, digestive, or dermal or cutaneous, but its damaging effects on human health at cell level can not be noticed in the short term. The purpose of the review was to characterize lead and determine its influence on the health of the population. Special attention is currently being given to this subject, due to the harmful effects of lead and its influence on the health of the population, and because lead constitutes a large part of the environmental pollution present in many cities worldwide(AU)
