| Abstract (English): | Objective. To determine the prevalence of communicable diseases, mental health and environmental pollutants exposure in population living near Las Bambas mining project before exploitation phase. Material and methods. Cross sectional study performed in 453 subjects (children and adults) living in three Apurimac region districts: Haquira, Chalhuahuacho and Progreso. Psychomotor development, intelligence quotient, anxiety and depression levels and the presence of communicable diseases (viral hepatitis B, C and delta, syphilis and HIV) were evaluated, as well as heavy metals (lead in blood, and cadmium, arsenic and mercury in urine samples) and serum cholinesterase levels. Results. Mean age was 29 ± 17.25 years, 59.2% were female and a range of 6 to 15 years of living in the area was found. No cases of HIV, hepatitis C and delta were found, 1.4% were positive for syphilis and in relation to hepatitis B, we found 1,7% of subjects positive to total anti HBc and 0.5% positive for HBsAg. Heavy metal testing identified people with exceeding limits of mercury in 1.8% arsenic in 4.6%, lead in 24.3% and cadmium in 43.9%. Besides, 29.1% of the population had cholinesterase levels below normal range. Among children, 12.5% were at psychomotor development levels of risk; 2.1% and 3.1% suffered from mild and borderline intellectual disability (mental retardation), respectively. 34.3% of subjects older than 12 had anxiety and 17.5% depression. Conclusions. Evidence of heavy metal environmental pollution and presence of communicable diseases in this population were already found. future careless mining activity could worsen the current health situation.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de enfermedades transmisibles, salud mental y exposición a contaminantes ambientales en la población aledaña al proyecto minero Las Bambas antes de la fase de explotación. Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo transversal realizado en 453 personas (niños y adultos) residentes en tres distritos de la región Apurímac: Haquira, Chalhuahuacho y Progreso. Se evaluó el desarrollo psicomotor, coeiciente intelectual y niveles de ansiedad y depresión, así como la presencia de enfermedades transmisibles (síilis, VIH, hepatitis viral B, C y Delta,) metales pesados (nivel de plomo en sangre, nivel de cadmio, arsénico y mercurio, en orina) y colinesterasa sérica. Resultados. La edad promedio fue de 29,0 ± 17,3 años, 59,2% fueron mujeres y el tiempo de residencia fue de 6 a 15 años. No se encontraron casos de VIH, hepatitis C y Delta, 1,4% fueron positivos a síilis y en relación con hepatitis B se encontró 1,7% positivos a anti HBc total y 0,5% positivos a HBs Ag. Se encontraron valores por encima de lo permitido de mercurio en 1,8% de la población, arsénico en 4,6%, plomo en 24,3% y cadmio en 43,9%. Además, el 29,1% de la población tuvo valores de colinesterasa inferiores al rango referencial. En la población infantil, 12,5% presentaba riesgo en su desarrollo psicomotor; 2,1% y 3,1% presentaba retardo mental leve y fronterizo, respectivamente; 34,3% de los mayores de 12 años sufrían de ansiedad y 17,5% de depresión. Conclusiones. Existen evidencias de contaminación ambiental por metales pesados y presencia de enfermedades transmisibles en esta población. Una futura explotación minera irresponsable podría agravar dicha situación epidemiológica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
