Introdução e Objetivo
O setor da Conservação e Restauro ainda não foi abordado pela Saúde Ocupacional de uma forma completa ou exaustiva, pelo que se registam várias lacunas de conhecimento.
Os autores tiveram como objetivo recolher e resumir toda a informação que encontraram sobre o tema.
Os principais riscos associados ao Crómio distribuem-se por vários contextos médicos, ainda que com consensos diferentes, a nível de patologia cardiovascular, nefrológica, hepática, oncológica, dermatológica, otorrinolaringológica, pneumológica, oftalmológica e hematológica.
Metodologia
Foi realizada uma pesquisa em janeiro de 2019, considerando os motores de busca Scopus; PubMed/ MedLine; Web of Science; Science Direct; Academic Search Complete; CINALH; Database of Abstracts and Reviews; Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Nursing and Allied Health Collection; MedicLatina e RCAAP.
Conteúdo/ Resultados e Discussão
Não se encontraram documentos que mencionassem detalhes relativos à toxicidade do Crómio neste setor.
Para outras áreas profissionais a informação foi escassa.
Os trabalhadores na indústria do vidro podem também estar expostos, bem como na metalurgia/ soldadura e indústria química.
Limitações
Os autores desenvolveram esforços no sentido de tentar que a sua pesquisa fosse exaustiva mas, uma vez concluída, perceberam que não encontraram dados relevantes sobre o doseamento do Crómio nos ambientes de trabalho da Conservação e Restauro, nem indicação de quais técnicas são possíveis utilizar e quais as preferenciais, tal como para a avaliação biológica do mesmo. Não foram encontrados artigos com descrição de medidas de proteção coletiva ou individual, sequer de forma genérica.
Conclusões
Desde longa data que são conhecidos malefícios concretos e sérios associados ao Crómio. Contudo, o setor da Conservação e Restauro é ainda muito pouco estudado em contexto de Saúde Ocupacional e os riscos do eventual contato com este agente não são exceção.
Seria muito pertinente que surgissem equipas motivadas para estudar este setor e colmatar parte das limitações encontradas, não desenvolvidas na literatura internacional.
Introduction and Objective The Conservation and Restoration sector has not yet been fully or comprehensively addressed by Occupational Health, so there are several knowledge gaps. The authors aimed to collect and summarize all the information they found on the topic. The main risks associated with Chromium are spread across a variety of medical settings (albeit with different consensos) on cardiovascular, nephrological, hepatic, oncological, dermatological, otorhinolaryngological, pneumological, ophthalmic and haematological pathology. Methodology A survey was conducted in January 2019, considering Scopus search engines; PubMed / MedLine; Web of Science; Science Direct; Academic Search Complete; CINALH; Database of Abstracts and Reviews; Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Nursing and Allied Health Collection; MedicLatina and RCAAP. Content / Results and Discussion No documents were found mentioning details concerning Chromium toxicity in this sector. For other professional areas information was scarce. Workers in the glass industry may also be exposed as well as in metallurgy/ welding and the chemical industry. Limitations The authors made efforts to try to make their research exhaustive but, once completed, they realised that they did not find relevant data on Chromium dosing in Conservation and Restoration work environments, nor an indication of which techniques can be used and which are the preferred ones, including biological evaluation. No articles were found describing collective or individual protection measures, even in a generic way. Conclusions Concrete and serious harms associated with Chromium have long been known. However, the Conservation and Restoration sector is still very little studied in the context of Occupational Health and the risks of eventual contact with this agent are no exception. It would be very pertinent to have motivated teams to study this sector and to address some of the limitations not developed in the international literature.
