Full textEl impacto humano sobre los recursos hídricos que forman los acuíferos es actualmente una de las grandes preocupaciones sociales en crecimiento debido a la presencia antrópica cada vez mayor de productos químicos tóxicos liberados en el subsuelo. El análisis de riesgo proporciona la herramienta científica necesaria para cuantificar el peligro real que estos contaminantes suponen para la salud humana. En concreto, el análisis de riesgo permite tomar decisiones que respondan a las siguientes preguntas: Qué puede pasar?. Qué tan probable es que suceda? Cuál pueden ser las consecuencias?. El análisis de riesgo es una herramienta clave en este sentido. Sin embargo, los esfuerzos de modelación necesarios para llevar a cabo el análisis de riesgo se enfrentan con varios problemas. Entre ellos, algunos productos tóxicos de degradación pueden constituir nuevos compuestos químicos nocivos no necesariamente menos tóxico que su producto padre. Por lo tanto, los contaminantes originales y sus productos hijos son susceptibles de coexistir en los acuíferos formando una mezcla de compuestos químicos de diferente toxicidad. Esto hace que la cuantificación e interpretación del riesgo para la salud humana sea una tarea no trivial y desafiante. Por otra parte, la falta de informaci´on en las propiedades hidráulicas y bioquímicos hace que las predicciones sobre el comportamiento de dichos contaminantes en el subsuelo sean altamente inciertas. El análisis de riesgo estocástico incorpora de forma natural la incertidumbre hidrogeológica que existe en las predicciones de riesgo para la salud humana. De esta manera, estos modelos pueden ser utilizados para determinar la probabilidad de que el riesgo supere un valor umbral o el valor esperado del riesgo y su incertidumbre. Desafortunadamente, estos enfoques son muy exigentes en tiempo de cálculo. Además de estas dos problemáticas, también se tiene que tener en cuenta que la composición mineralógica de un suelo real es diversa y variable en el espacio. Muchas veces esto implica la transferencia de masa entre zonas de contaminantes móviles e inmóviles. Esto último exige modelos sofisticados de transporte que, por ejemplo, conceptualicen el medio poroso como un sistema multi-porosidad. Finalmente, la complejidad que existe en el comportamiento del foco de contaminación hace complicado un análisis de riesgo. Los líquidos tóxicos densos y no acuosos ilustran perfectamente esta complejidad. Una vez en el subsuelo, estos líquidos liberación lentamente los contaminantes dentro del acuífero de acuerdo con una tasa de agotamiento que depende fuertemente de la arquitectura errática del foco de contaminación. Los modelos de transporte reactivo eulerianos tienen problemas numéricos cuando se simulan fuertes heterogeneidades hidro-bioquímicos en el terreno al mismo tiempo que reacciones químicas complejas en sistemas multi-porosidad. En este contexto, los métodos de trayectorias de partículas constituyen una alternativa viable. Sin embargo, estos métodos pueden tener en cuenta un rango pequeño de reacciones químicas. El trabajo presentado en esta tesis propone una solución a estos problemas mediante un método de trayectoria de partículas. El método es eficiente y capaz de simular cadenas y redes de degradación en sistemas heterogéneos con porosidad múltiples. El método se basa en el desarrollo de probabilidades de transición que describen las probabilidades de que las partículas que pertenecen a un estado determinado (producto químico y región móvil / inmóvil) en un momento dado se transformará en otro estado en un momento posterior. El método se utiliza para caracterizar el riesgo para la salud humana que representan las mezclas de degradación en medios porosos altamente heterogéneos derivados de focos de contaminación complejos. En particular, se investiga la interacción entre la heterogeneidad, la conectividad, el modo de inyección de los contaminantes y su toxicidad química con respecto a la caracterización probabilística del riesgo para la salud humana. Los resultados indican las condiciones mediante las cuales las vías de flujo preferencial pueden favorecer la reducción del riesgo para la salud humana. La dependencia de la conectividad con el riego se demuestra que no es nada trivial cuando se trata de mezclas de compuestos químicos. Esta no trivialidad es el resultado de la interacción entre la heterogeneidad del acuífero y la toxicidad de los compuestos químicos. Para cuantificar el efecto conjunto de la conectividad y la toxicidad en el riesgo para la salud, se propone un número de Damköhler nuevo que tiene en cuenta la toxicidad. Además, el riesgo también se caracteriza en términos estadísticos mediante momentos de bajo orden y funciones de densidad de probabilidad. Los resultados también muestran que tanto la capacidad de degradación de zonas inmóviles como los modelos existentes de agotamiento del foco pueden desempeñar un papel muy significativo en el análisis espacio-temporal del riesgo. Este trabajo también muestra que la eficiencia del foco de contaminación para concentrar el flujo puede tener un efecto beneficioso sobre el riesgo. El riesgo total de hecho tiende a disminuir para eficiencias grandes debido a la disminución consecuente en tiempos de viaje cerca del foco de contaminación, limitando la producción de productos de degradación más tóxicos.

Full textData were collected during a prospective cohort study conducted in Brazil. Incidence density rates of infection were calculated and determinants of incident infection were identified using Cox regression models. Analyses were done for HPV types classified into low-risk and high-risk depending on their association with cervical neoplasia.
The incidence density rates were 9.3 and 7.6 per 1000 women-months respectively for low-risk and high-risk HPV infection. Independent positive associations were found between the time of first occurrence of low-risk infection and age, number of sexual partners in the past 5 years, education level and use of non-commercial hygienic absorbents. The first occurrence of high-risk infection was independently predicted by age, age at first sexual intercourse, condom use (negative associations) and by the number of sexual partners in the past year (positive association). Elucidation of the dynamics of infection is a first step towards implementation of public health programs for reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
