Artigo IPEN-doc 22310 Mercury and methylmercury in the children hair and fish mostly consumed in Cubatão, São Paulo state, Brazil2014 - FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.; OLIVEIRA, PAULO T.M.S.; BRAGA, ELISABETE de S.Artigo IPEN-doc 20599 Selenium status and hair mercury levels in riverine children from Rondônia, Amazonia2014 - ROCHA, ARIANA V.; CARDOSO, BARBARA R.; COMINETTI, CRISTIANE; BUENO, RAFAEL B.; BORTOLI, MARITSA C. de; FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.; CAMARGO, LUIS M.A.; COZZOLINO, SILVIA M.F.Objective: Riverine communities in Rondo ˇ nia State are exposed to high selenium (Se) content in their diet because of the high-selenium soils identified in the Amazon. However, the Amazonian population has a high mercury (Hg) exposure because this metal accumulates in the soil. Because children are more vulnerable to Hg toxicity, the aim of this study was to evaluate and correlate Se status and hair Hg levels in riverine children (aged 3–9 y) living in two different locations in Rondo ˇ nia State: Demarcac¸ ao area (DA) and Gleba do Rio Preto (GRP). ~ Methods: Se levels were assessed using hydride generation quartz tube atomic absorption spectroscopy; total hair Hg levels were assessed using cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Dietary intake was evaluated through a 24-h food record and a food frequency questionnaire. Results: Forty-two children participated in this study. Eighty-four percent of the children from DA showed low plasma Se. Conversely, all children from GRP presented plasma Se levels above the reference values. Forty-five percent of the children from DA presented low erythrocyte levels, and 55% of the children from GRP showed concentration in erythrocyte above the reference values. The mean Se intake was 41.8 mg/d in DA and 179.0 mg/d in GRP. High hair Hg levels were observed in children from both the DA and GRP (3.57 1.86 and 6.24 5.89, respectively). Conclusions: Children from both riverine communities are likely to present altered Se status according to their dietary intake. Additionally, these children are highly exposed to Hg, mainly through fish consumption, and the toxicity of this metal may cause metabolic damage.Resumo IPEN-doc 17475 Social representation and nuclear chemistry educational2011 - FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.Resumo IPEN-doc 16644 Mercury in hair and eating habits: a case study in children from Cubatão, São Paulo, Brazil2010 - FARIAS, L.A.; CURCHO, M.; FONSECA, B.C.; NASCIMENTO, S.M.; KUNIOSHI, L.; BRAGA, E.S.; FAVARO, D.I.T.Artigo IPEN-doc 19236 Social representations and choice energy: a matter of education?2013 - FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.; AYLLON, RAFAELLA M.Artigo IPEN-doc 19503 Representações sociais de futuros professores a respeito da energia nuclear: possíveis implicações na opinião pública2013 - AYLLON, RAFAELLA M.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.; FARIAS, LUCIANA A.Artigo IPEN-doc 17545 O quociente de risco (QR) de exposição ao mercúrio na promoção de políticas públicas brasileiras2011 - FARIAS, L.A.; FAVARO, D.I.T.; BRAGA, E.S.Artigo IPEN-doc 17117 USP University students social representations and views on nuclear power as energy option2011 - FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.Artigo IPEN-doc 17436 Avaliação dos metais Cd, Hg e Pb em peixes comercializados em Cananéia, estado de São Paulo2011 - FAVARO, DEBORAH I.T.; FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; BRAGA, ELISABETE S.Artigo IPEN-doc 16370 Cooking process evaluation on mercury content in fish2010 - FARIAS, LUCIANA A.; FAVARO, DEBORAH I.; SANTOS, JOSE O.; VASCONCELLOS, MARINA B.; PESSOA, ARTEMIZA; AGUIAR, JAIME P.L.; YUYAMA, LUCIAThis study evaluated different cooking processes (roasted, cooked and fried) on total mercury (Hg) content in fish species most consumed by Manaus residents and surrounding communities, Amazon region. The results obtained for total Hg in natura and after the three types of preparation (roasted, cooked and fried) for 12 fish species showed a significant Hg concentration variation. In the present study the cooked and frying processes resulted in higher Hg losses for Pacu, Pescada, Jaraqui, Curimatã, Surubin and Aruanã fish species, most of them presenting detritivorous and carnivorous feeding habits. The higher Hg losses in the roasting process occurred for Sardinha, Aracu, Tucunaré, Pirapitinga, Branquinha and Tambaqui fish species, most of them being omnivorous and herbivorous fish species. Some micronutrients (Ca, Fe, K, Na, Se and Zn) in fish species in natura were also determined in order to perform a nutritional evaluation regarding these micronutrients.
