          Abstract

          RESUMEN. Objetivos: Evaluar la influencia de las condiciones socio-demográficas y de la existencia de asociaciones entre las condiciones de seguridad laboral y la prevalencia de efectos en la salud. Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal con intensión analítica realizado con fuentes secundarias de variables socio-demográficas, laborales, de condición y efectos sobre la salud asociados a la práctica de la minería aurífera y al uso de mercurio, los registros n=367. La realización de pruebas y estimaciones estadísticas de rigor a un nivel de confianza del 95% (p<0,05). Resultados: Las mujeres en su mayoría, de 45 a 49 años, analfabetos. Los efectos sobre la condición física y la salud asociados a su labor, demuestran la prevalencia de alteraciones como pérdida de: fuerza, visión y cabello. Las regresiones lineales entre las concentraciones orgánicas de Hg (sangre, orina y cabello) y el tiempo de realización de esta labor, apuntan que existen asociaciones proporcionales significativas (p<0,05) Conclusiones: El uso de medidas de seguridad laboral puede incidir significativamente en la reducción de riesgos asociados a la exposición al mercurio, principalmente en segmentos poblacionales con mayor vulnerabilidad.

          ABSTRACT Objectives: Develop an assessment of socio-demographic conditions influence as well significant associations among occupational safety conditions and health effects prevalence on gold small-scale miners vulnerability in Colombia. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study with analytical intent conducted with secondary sources of socio-demographic, labor, condition and health effects variables associated with the practice of gold mining and the use of mercury, records n=367. The performance of tests and statistical estimates of rigor at a confidence level of 95% (p<0.05). Results: Women are mostly illiterate aged 45 to 49. The effects on physical condition and health associated with their work demonstrate the prevalence of alterations such as loss of: strength, vision and hair. The linear regressions between the organic concentrations of Hg (blood, urine and hair) and the time of performance of this work, indicate that there are significant proportional associations (p<0.05). Conclusions: The assessment of occupational safety measures might have a significant impact on potential risks reduction associated with mercury usage and exposure, mainly in population segments with higher vulnerability tendencies.

            Global Burden of Disease of Mercury Used in Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining.

            Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the world's largest anthropogenic source of mercury emission. Gold miners are highly exposed to metallic mercury and suffer occupational mercury intoxication. The global disease burden as a result of this exposure is largely unknown because the informal character of ASGM restricts the availability of reliable data.
