Métodos analíticos para la identificación del plomo en el organismo y sus principales tratamientos farmacológicos.

Abstract

Lead is a polluting metal that has been found worldwide for centuries. The main source of contamination that people are exposed to are workplaces, because this poisoning occurs through the inhalation of lead particles generated by the combustion of this metal, this problem is also caused by the ingestion of water, dust and contaminated food, generating severe liver, neurological, kidney diseases and anemia problems that are caused by children, pregnant women and adults. For the analysis of this research, a descriptive investigative methodology was used to determine the concentration of lead, as a general objective to identify the analytical methods for the concentration of lead in the body, through a bibliographic review of articles and clinical cases with their respective treatments, within which the most used methods were investigated according to the bibliographic source is the Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was the most used method with a percentage of 60%, while the flame atomic spectrometry, and anodic stripping voltammetry showed a percentage of 20%. Likewise, in terms of treatment, it was investigated that there are 4 pharmacological drugs used for lead detoxification, calcium disodium edetate, dimercaprol, penicillamine and succimer.
