RESUMO:

Introduction: The oil processing and refining activity, developed since the installation of the Landulpho Alves Refinery in the 50s, was the main driver of the industrial expansion and consolidation of the Todos os Santos Bay. However, it has contributed to its contamination by several pollutants, including Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are biomarkers of petroleum activities. PAHs are substances that are toxic to the environment and to humans, some of which are carcinogenic, representing risks to food security and the health of nearby seafood communities. Objective: To describe the social, economic profile, personal habits and exposure to PAHs of children/adolescents at a school in the community closest to the oil refining unit. Method: The study population comprised 199 children/adolescents from 07 to 16 years old, students from the 2nd to the 5th year of elementary school, from the morning and afternoon shifts, from the Municipal School Iromar Silva Nogueira, from the community of Caípe, São Francisco do Conde, Bahia. Data were collected between October and December 2019, through subsidized interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. The interviews were conducted individually and the data collection instrument comprised six sections: General data; Socio-demographic and economic aspects; Place of residence; Personal and behavioral habits; Eating habits; Health. Results: 54.3% of children/adolescents were female, 84.4% of families had at least one family member who practiced fishing/shellfish, 54.8% of families earned less than 1 minimum wage, 70 % of mothers already lived in Caípe during pregnancy, 83.9% live close to industries or activities related to oil processing, 87.4% of children/adolescents consume seafood 2 to 3 times a week, 95% of children consume grilled, fried, roasted and smoked foods, 63.8% of children/adolescents did not have respiratory problems, but 36.2% have had or have and 41% of children/adolescents have difficulty in school. Conclusion: The studied population is of low income, the presence of RLAM is a relevant factor in the lives of families, the consumption of seafood and grilled, smoked, fried, and roasted foods is an important source of exposure to PAHs and, although no significant changes in the health of children/adolescents have been reported, the percentages of respiratory problems and difficulty in school require further investigation in future studies.
