local.description.resumoLead is a heavy metal that has been used since ancient times, including in the production of wine with the aim of sweetening and reducing acidity. In the 1920s, this compound was added to gasoline, believing that it would result in better functioning of the automobile engine. These two applications were later interrupted due to knowledge about the risk of human and environmental toxicity. Even today, it is a material present in several areas, both in production and recycling, and worker contact with lead leads to the occurrence of poisoning (saturnism), which leads to symptoms resulting from its action on various systems and tissues of the human body. which is harmful. The main cause of the development of saturnism in adults is exposure during work activities, often favored by the precariousness of the workplace, which highlights the importance of using personal protective equipment. The objective of this work was to analyze medical records of patients treated at the UFMG University Hospital between 2003 and 2018 with a diagnosis of saturnism due to occupational exposure. The results found showed patients were all male and had incomplete primary education as the predominant level of education. Clinical management included regular measurements of serum lead and acid.-aminolevulinic acid and the symptoms presented corroborate those described in the literature. Of the eighteen cases analyzed, five had intervention with chelation therapy, of which two were discharged due to case resolution and normalization of serum lead as recommended by the Ministry of Health protocol, with serum levels <40 mcg/dL. Of the other three, one is still being monitored at the service, one has returned to work in activities without contact with lead and the last has returned to the same occupational activities before the saturnism was controlled.
