Yallouz Tatiana Calixto Sandra Hacon Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) fish mercury poisoning prevention semiquantitative determination Human exposure to mercury intoxication through contaminated fish ingestion has been well studied, mainlyamong Japanese population. The Brazilian population, particulaly in the Amazon region, is now in focus dueto findings of fish contamination. Major health impacts caused by mercury affect mostly people who have aregular fish diet. A continuous checking for mercury content in the most consumed fish could prevent humanintoxication. A simple, non-instrumental method to allow a continuous checking of the mercury content infish was developed. Based on this method, we are proposing a prevention action where community agentscan be trained to perform fish analysis. Technical Schools and Universities located nearby the affected areaswould be in charge of quality control programs for the fish analysis as well as for the selection, training andupdate for operators. 2002 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32774115 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.74 |
