QUESTIONS+

1. ¿Cuál es la causa o el problema ambiental generado de acuerdo con

El artículo y dónde se desarrolla.

 What is the cause or environmental problem generated according to

the article and where it is developed.
R/

THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT IN JAPAN IS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION BY CR

CADMIUM IN THE YENZU RIVER Caused by contamination (Maruzeni et al., 2014) and
Niigata Minamata disease, caused by mercury contamination (Hg) in Agano River (Hara et al.,
2013). Arsenicosis was caused by arsenic (As) contamination in the Mekong River in Cambodia
(Sampson et al., 2008). Various diseases, including cancers and cardiovascular diseases, have
been suggested to be caused by lead (Pb) and Cd contamination in the Hengshine River in China
(Wang et al., 2011). Therefore, the presence of toxic metallic pollutants in river water is a
worldwide danger to human health.

More than 120 L of water are required for the production of 1 kg of leather in tanneries
(Farenzena et al., 2005). If toxic elements are used in tanneries, tannery wastewater without
proper purification could cause enormous water contamination. Environmental pollution
AND THE DISEASES THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THESE

 2. Which diseases can be presented by the handling of Cr according to
the article
R/

 skin lesions
 ulcers
 septum perforations
 skin lesions
 carcinoma

 3. What is the effect of co-exposure to Cr (VI) and Cr (III)

R/Co-exposure effect ¨:

 toxic effect
 genotoxic
 mutagenic
 cancerinosis

 4. What is the conclusion of the study?

R/

 In conclusion, the study that is carried out in the Buriganga River areas
specifically shows the contamination due to contamination.

Task 4 - Case analysis of a document EPIDEMIOLOGIA
 Low toxicity Cr (III) was present along with high toxicity Cr (VI), both Cr (VI)
and Cr (III) must be removed effectively. The use of Langmuir isotherms showed
that our original MF-HT could adsorb at maximum 9.0 mg / g Cr (VI) and 1041
mg / g Cr (III) in theory. As far as we know, the elimination capacity of Cr (III) is
9 since these metals are affecting human health and the contamination of the
basins is evident, it has toxic and mutagenic effects that cause injuries, many
perforations, among others, and measures must be taken. for the recovery of the
buriganga river

5. Sustenance why this article is relevant for the environmental

epidemiology cour´´

this article is, very relevant, as it shows us the impacts of the environment in the water sources

and the brusk that the (crvi) reacts in human health in high amounts and is very important in the

epidemiology as it fulfills a large paper study infectious diseases, and that are not spread to

combat them

environmental impacts must be mitigated and prevented
