Resumen
De acuerdo con la IARC (2012b), se puede clasificar la exposición ocupacional a distintos agentes químicos en la industria del caucho como carcinogénicas en el grupo 1, específicamente, el uso de los compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COV) en la actividad de pintor, y la exposición a sílice cristalina por la tarea de sandblasting, ambas dentro del grupo 1 (IARC, 2012a, 2012b).
La investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar los riesgos químicos asociados a la exposición ocupacional por vía inhalatoria y dérmica a COV tales como el tolueno, xileno y MIBK; así como a material particulado por medio de una caracterización básica y mediciones ocupacionales que permitan identificar los determinantes de exposición y proponer medidas de control con el fin de reducir la exposición laboral.
According to IARC (2012b), occupational exposure to different chemical agents in the rubber industry can be classified as carcinogenic to different chemical agents in the rubber industry can be classified as carcinogenic in Group 1, specifically, the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the painter's activity, and the exposure to crystalline silica in the and exposure to crystalline silica from sandblasting, both within group 1 (IARC), both within group 1 (IARC, 2012a, 2012b). The research aims to assess the chemical hazards associated with occupational inhalation exposure to occupational exposure by inhalation and dermal routes to VOCs such as toluene, xylene and MIBK; as well as particulate matter by means of a basic characterization and occupational measurements to identify the determinants of exposure and to propose control measures to reduce occupational exposure.
