Contaminación por plomo

Contaminación por plomo

Abstract

Este artículo es una readaptación del reportaje titulado "Humo y fábricas nos ahogan", publicado en el diario OJO de Lima el pasado año 2001. Viene a denunciar la contaminación por plomo existente en una localidad del país sudamericano. De un total de 82 muestras sanguíneas tomadas a escolares de entre 6 y 13 años de edad, 25 presentaron concentración de plomo sanguíneo entre 10,1 y 16,4 mg/dl (microgramos por decilitro de sangre). Los síntomas de los alumnos con niveles de plomo sanguíneo mayor a 10 mg/dl fueron cefalea, insomnio, fatiga, anorexia, tos crónica, cólicos abdominales y vómitos. El problema se agrava porque las partículas del mineral al descubierto son arrastradas por el viento en densas polvaredas que se introducen en las casas y se deposita en las calles, techos, cordeles de ropa, cabellos y piel de los pobladores y, por supuesto, en el organismo a través de la respiración. A pesar de las evidencias, los estudios realizados y la cada vez mayor cantidad de casos clínicos, sobre todo en la población infantil, esta situación todavía no ha sido encarada correctamente tanto por el sector público como por el sector privado.
