RESUMO
OBJETIVO:
Avaliar o nível de exposição ocupacional em uma metalúrgica de chumbo, através da determinação dos indicadores biológicos de exposição e efeito, com o objetivo de estabelecer um mapeamento das áreas de risco dentro da planta industrial.METODOLOGIA:
Estudo transversal incluindo 195 trabalhadores de uma metalúrgica primária de chumbo, localizada no Estado da Bahia-Brasil, e um grupo de referência de 65 indivíduos. Nos grupos de expostos e controle foram realizadas as dosagens dos indicadores biológicos de exposição e efeito (IBE's) ao chumbo inorgânico, incluindo Pb-S, ALA-U, ZnPP e Hb.ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was the assessment of occupational exposure to lead in a metallurgy plant, by measuring biological exposure and effects indicators; and the mapping of risk areas throughout the industrial plant.METHODOLOGY:
A cross-sectional study was performed involving 195 workers at a lead metallurgy plant and a reference group of 65 individuals, in the State of Bahia, Brazil. Both the exposed and control groups were tested for dosage levels for biological exposure and effects indicators for inorganic lead, including Pb-S, ALA-U, ZnPP and Hb - (blood lead level (BLL); d-aminolevulinic acid in urine (ALA-U); zinc-protoporphyrin (Zn-PP); and hemoglobin (Hb).
