Abstract

In January 2019, the state of Minas Gerais was struck by an environmental tragedy resulting from the collapse of the Córrego do Feijão Mine Dam, in Brumadinho. On this occasion, the Military Fire Brigade of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CBMERJ) designated specialized teams for emergency intervention, in aid of agents from the local corporation involved in providing care and support to victims and residents of the affected areas. However, these professionals were exposed to mud containing substances that cause harm to health. The objective of this study was to describe the concentrations of inorganic elements in the biological samples of Military Firefighters who participated in the actions after the collapse of the tailings dam in Brumadinho. To this end, a cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out. All samples contained levels above reference values, except for Mg, Al and Ca, which indicates excessive exposure. Even using personal protective equipment, which is a standard and mandatory procedure for the corporation, these professionals were exposed to high amounts of different contaminants and this biomonitoring aimed to expand health surveillance actions, however, in isolation, they cannot predict the occurrence of a certain pathology.

[在巴西Brumadinho/MG工作的军事消防员在尾矿坝崩溃后的生物监测]。
2019年1月,米纳斯吉拉斯州因布鲁马迪尼奥Córrego do feij矿坝坍塌而发生环境悲剧。在这种情况下,里约热内卢州军事消防队(CBMERJ)指定了专门的紧急干预小组,以协助参与向受灾地区的受害者和居民提供照顾和支助的当地公司的人员。然而,这些专业人员接触的泥浆中含有对健康有害的物质。本研究的目的是描述在Brumadinho尾矿坝坍塌后参与行动的军事消防员生物样品中的无机元素浓度。为此,进行了横断面描述性观察研究。所有样品的含量都高于参考值,但镁、铝和钙表明过量接触。即使使用个人防护设备(这是公司的标准和强制性程序),这些专业人员也暴露在大量不同的污染物中,这种生物监测旨在扩大健康监测行动,但是,孤立地,他们无法预测某种病理的发生。
