SUMMARY:

Mercury is a heavy metal that causes harm to human health, mercury exposure occurs through means such as burning amalgam and in the feeding of fish contaminated by mercury. Women of childbearing age, pregnant or breastfeeding are part of the risk group and must be monitored; in order above all to avoid the effects of the consumption of contaminated fish, which can generate a clinical picture of: muscle weakness, infertility, hormonal dysregulation, polycystic ovary syndrome. Furthermore, the effects of mercury exposure affect the fetus in the intrauterine period, contributing to delays and/or damage to the nervous system, congenital malformations, and miscarriages. In the Brazilian Amazon, there is an interest in investigating mercury exposure, given the anthropic mining activities in the region, as well as the presence of contaminated fish that add risks to the health of the population, mainly due to the high consumption of fish by people in the Amazon region. . Understanding that in the Lower Amazon region there is an environmentally exposed population and given the dangers that mercury exposure can cause to women, this study aims to assess the epidemiological and clinical profile of women environmentally exposed to mercury in the Lower Amazon region, Pará. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, which will be carried out based on data collected from 2016 to 2019 from 327 women living in the urban and riverside area of Santarém, in the Lower Amazon region. For this, the analysis of social, demographic, food, anthropometric, clinical and laboratory variables will be carried out. As well as the analysis of the concentration of mercury in the blood, considering "exposed" women with more than 10 μg/L of mercury in their blood, following the reference values established by the World Health Organization. Descriptive statistical analysis and of these variables in the Statistical Package for Social software. It is hoped that the data acquired in this study will serve to characterize the exposure profile of women in the region, as well as indicate the dangers of mercury to future pregnancies of exposed women.
