Anàlise Comparativa das ETA’s (Estações de Tratamento de Água) com Análise de Elementos Traços e Quadro Epidemiológico em Municípios do Sudeste Goiano

Abstract

The Work emphasizes the study of survey of the quality of the water consumed from the chemical analysis of the ETA's (Stations of Water Treatment), compared the elements traces and picture epidemiologist in the population of 18 cities of the southeastern region of the State of Goiás, Brazil, in the period of february of 2005 at march of 2006, to correlate possible contaminations of the water with illnesses that affect the health human being. Eighteen water samples had been collected (a sample for ETA and city) and carried through the chemical analyses of multielementary form using the ICP-AES. From the results of the chemical concentrations of the elements the correlation matrix was confectioned, defined the geochemical associations and constructed the maps of distribution of the chemical elements of the associations. In the cities, visits to the City departments of Health and applied the instrument of research had been carried through directed to the level of the Basic Attention in Health, adding themselves the consultations and visits the database of the State secretary of Health of the State of Goiás (SLANTED), DATASUS, SEPLIN and SVS/MS. The results had shown that the associations of Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) in the city of Três Ranchos had presented concentrations of 1ª order and the cities of Catalão with concentration of 3ª order for zinc (Zn) and Ouvidor with concentration of 2ª order for the lead (Pb). The Strontium concentrations (Sr.), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Manganese (Mn) in the cities of Davinópolis, Urutaí, Anhanguera, Rio Quente, Corumbaíba and Cumarí, had presented anomalous values of 2ª and 3ª orders. Taking in consideration the geology of the área searched and the direct or indirect anthropic influence on the body of waters, the increase of the incidence of cancer in the city of Três Ranchos associates and bordering. Although the high concentrations of the chemical elements of 1ª association (Sr, Ca, Mg and Mn), the morbity pointer is low, for the biological action. The City of Ipameri presents the best sanitary conditions and the external causes have fort influence between the factors that contribute for the mortality index. It was observed that the cultural habits and the lack of assistance to the health are the factors that more epidemiologist presented in these cities contributes for the picture. Equally, the construction of programs and actions that guide the Education in Ambient Health, an essential pointer for preservation of the natural resources becomes
