RESUMEN
Los pequeños agricultores de arroz del sector informal en Colombia son una población vulnerable a la intoxicación aguda y crónica por plaguicidas, especialmente porque no han sido incluidos en programas nacionales de capacitación, vigilancia y control de intoxicaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar mediante una encuesta el estado de cumplimiento de las prácticas de salud ocupacional y disposición adecuada de residuos de plaguicidas en un grupo de agricultores del municipio de Natagaima en Colombia y evaluar el nivel de biomarcadores séricos de efecto por exposición a plaguicidas en esta población. Los resultados muestran un panorama en donde prevalece una aparente percepción del riesgo por el uso de plaguicidas, pero hay una gran carencia de prácticas de salud ocupacional en la población que los manipula. El análisis de los biomarcadores séricos permitió detectar un aumento significativo en los niveles de aspartato amino transferasa, creatinina y ácido úrico y descenso de los niveles de colinesterasa sérica demostrando posibles alteraciones subclínicas de la función renal y hepática en la población estudiada (AU)
ABSTRACT
Small farmers in rice informal sector in Colombia are vulnerable to acute and chronic pesticide poisoning population, especially because they have not been included in national training programs, monitoring and poison control. The aim of this study was to identify through a survey of the state of compliance with occupational health practices and proper disposal of pesticide residues in a group of farmers in the municipality of Natagaima in Colombia and assess the level of serum biomarkers of effect exposure pesticides in this population. The results show a scenario in which prevails an apparent perception of risk by the use of pesticides, but there is a lack of practical occupational health in the population that manipulates
