Abstract(s)
Os perigos associados aos blooms de cianobactérias são conhecidos e
percecionados, mas algumas lacunas analíticas e no conhecimento científico
impedem, ainda, a devida avaliação do risco de exposição humana
a toxinas de cianobactérias e, consequentemente, a adoção das medidas
preventivas e de remediação mais adequadas. As cianotoxinas também
induzem efeitos nocivos e mortandade em peixes, aves e mamíferos,
pelo que os episódios de intoxicação de animais por cianotoxinas podem
servir de alerta para potenciais efeitos nocivos para a saúde humana. O
presente trabalho pretende sensibilizar para a importância da aplicação
do conceito One Health à monitorização e vigilância de intoxicações por
cianobactérias, na prevenção de riscos para a saúde pública, relacionados
com a ocorrência de cianobactérias e cianotoxinas. Assim, a aplicação
de uma abordagem One Health aos blooms de cianobactérias poderá
contribuir para prever riscos e implementar de forma precoce as medidas
de gestão do risco associado à ocorrência de cianotoxinas nos recursos
hídricos.
The risks associated with the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms are widely recognized. However, gaps in analytic and scientific knowledge are still an impediment for the appropriate human risk assessment of cyanotoxins and the adoption of suitable preventive and remediation measures. Cyanotoxins have also a toxic effect in fish, birds and mammals, and cases of animal intoxication by cyanotoxins can provide an alert to the potential toxic effects in human health. The present work aims to raise awareness of the importance of applying the One Health concept to t he m onitoring a nd s urveillance o f c yanobacterial p oisoning, in the prevention of risks to public health, related to the occurrence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. Therefore, the application of a One Health approach to cyanobacterial blooms can contribute to risk prevention and implementation of early management measures of the risk associated with the occurrence of cyanotoxins in aquatic resources.
