Características Pre y Perinatales de Niños que Viven en Sectores de Alto Riesgo Ambiental por Exposición a Solventes Orgánicos en el Municipio de Sampués-Sucre
The purpose of this study is to characterize -through the Maternal and Perinatal Risk Questionnaire CMRP – the pre and perinatal aspects of children whose mothers had frequent exposure to organic solvents during pregnancy.
The results demonstrates that exposed mothers had a higher number of urinary infections both before and during pregnancy, pre term deliveries, motor decline and cesarean deliveries, which are potential causes of developmental disorders, cerebral palsy, decreased growth of the baby and impaired psychomotor development. A significant data was the number of children who suffered hypoxia and anoxia during delivery, with subsequent risk of brain damage, learning disabilities, reduced IQ and potential behavior problems.
