Revista americana publica estudo sobre efeitos graves da mineração de ouro em Paracatu

Artigo publicado online em 27 de março de 2019, pela revista especializada “Environmental Justice”: https://doi.org/10.1089/env.2018.0039

Geocídio, ecocídio e efeitos tipo genocídio da mineração de ouro a céu aberto de topo de montanha em larga escala na periferia de Paracatu, Brasil.

Tradução do resumo do artigo:

Em 1987, iniciou-se a mineração de ouro em larga escala a céu aberto, nos subúrbios da cidade de Paracatu, Minas Gerais, Brasil. As rochas duras da mina contêm minério com baixa concentração de ouro (média 0,4 g de ouro / tonelada de minério) e quantidades anormalmente elevadas de arsenopirita (FeAsS, média 1000 g/t de minério). Desde 2005, a mina tem sido operada exclusivamente pela canadense Kinross Gold Corporation (KGC-NYSE, K-TSX) através de sua subsidiária local. As atividades de mineração mal controladas liberam arsenopirita e seus produtos de intemperismo das rochas nas formas de partículas, gás e solutos que contaminam o ar, solos, águas superficiais e águas subterrâneas. Até 2016, o rendimento acumulado de arsênio inorgânico da mina foi estimado em 735.000 toneladas. Neste artigo, apresentamos a primeira série de casos sentinelas de intoxicação crônica por arsênio (CAsI) em Paracatu. Apesar das evidências crescentes de degradação ambiental generalizada, contaminação ambiental em grande escala, intoxicação em massa crônica e persistente e abuso dos direitos humanos, uma série de ações judiciais, públicas e privadas não conseguiu interromper as atividades da Kinross em Paracatu. O contínuo desastre ambiental e humanitário e os abusos ilegais em Paracatu que degradam o meio ambiente e vitimizam milhares de pessoas prosperam incontestes e não podem ser interrompidos localmente devido à conivência dos agentes com grandes interesses econômicos, poderosas interferências políticas, pagamentos facilitadores, cegueira deliberada e “lavagem-verde” toxicológica

Chronic arsenic intoxication now more visible

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28857213

Chichester, USA, 31.08.2017 - A new method of diagnosis of chronic arsenic intoxication was published today by JAT (Journal of Applied Toxicology) [1].

The authors of the new method, called CAsIDS (abbreviation for "Chronic Arsenic Intoxication Diagnostic Score") are the Brazilian MD working in Switzerland, Sergio Ulhoa Dani and his Austrian colleague, Gerhard Franz Walter.

The method is based on non-invasively estimating the bone arsenic load from the arsenic concentration in two consecutive urine samples and includes the evaluation of clinical manifestations typical of chronic arsenic intoxication in various systems and organs of the human body.

Acute arsenic poisoning, although rare these days, is easily recognized for its symptoms such as mental confusion, diarrhea, respiratory and circulatory collapse followed by death within a few hours or days.

Chronic intoxication, although more frequent than acute poisoning, is difficult to recognize because its clinical and laboratory manifestations can be mistaken with those of other diseases that kill after years or decades.

The CasiDS method helps doctors recognize chronic poisoning at different levels of certainty.

In the journal JAT, the authors present clinical examples of chronic arsenic poisoning confirmed by CAsIDS.

Among the cases presented, there is a patient from the city of Paracatu, Minas Gerais, where the Canadian Kinross Gold Corporation / Kinross Brasil Mineração explores the largest open pit gold mine in Brazil.

The arsenic released from the rocks of the mine in Paracatu is transported by water and air and contaminates the rural and urban environment and thousands of its inhabitants.

Arsenic and its compounds are generally invisible, odorless and tasteless. With CAsIDS, at least the arsenic that contaminates the human body and causes disease became more visible.
