Most oil extraction areas in the Peruvian Amazon are within indigenous territories. Poor environmental practices have exposed the indigenous population to metals. We conducted a survey in two indigenous Kukama communities to assess body burdens of metals after the occurrence of two major oil spills in 2014. Urine levels above those recommended by the Peruvian Ministry of Health were observed in 50% and 17% of the study population for mercury and cadmium, respectively.
秘鲁亚马逊地区的大多数石油开采区都位于原住民领土内。不良的环境做法使原住民接触到了金属。在 2014 年发生两次重大石油泄漏事件后，我们在两个原住民库卡马社区进行了一项调查，以评估金属的体内负荷。研究人群中，汞和镉的尿液水平分别有 50%和 17%超过了秘鲁卫生部建议的水平。
