Abstract

This study analyzes the activities, poisoning, and medical treatment of the "La Esperanza" mercury mine workers in Aranzazu (Caldas, Colombia) between 1948 and 1975. The mining work there was difficult due to the geological instability of the area and the use of inappropriate mining technology, which generated a high occurrence of poisoning manifested in tremors of limbs, bleeding gums, loss of teeth, and bad mouth odor. The mine was the first Colombian company to treat its poisoned workers with dimercaprol and penicillamine. Occupational toxicology in Colombia was thus born during one of the most significant occupational health disasters in the country.

哥伦比亚汞矿的中毒事件:1948-1975年,阿兰萨祖。
本研究分析了 1948 年至 1975 年间阿兰萨苏(哥伦比亚卡尔达斯)"La Esperanza "汞矿工人的 活动、中毒和医疗情况。由于该地区地质不稳定,采矿技术不当,采矿工作十分困难,导致中毒事件频发,表现为四肢颤抖、牙龈出血、牙齿脱落和口腔异味。该矿是哥伦比亚第一家使用二巯基丙醇和青霉胺治疗中毒工人的公司。哥伦比亚的职业毒理学就这样在该国最重大的职业健康灾难中诞生了。
