description An oil company shed industrial pollutants into a stream, which supplied water to the inhabitants of a village in the town of Cimitarra, Department of Santander, in March 1998. A study of this environmental incident was carried out in order to determine the affects of pollution and the possible occurrence of an epidemic outbreak. The information available in the local health institution from before and after the incident was studied. An epidemiological survey was carried out which included a thorough clinical study of the inhabitants in the area and skin samples were taken in suspected cases. Simultaneously, two private laboratories and a university laboratory analyzed water samples for different parameters. All of the results obtained were found to be within the normal ranges. Changes in water were found both before and after the shedding which can be attributed to prolonged pollution with domestic residues and to severe deficiencies in the environmental sanitation of the village. Beside the emergency measures, recommendations were made regarding the infrastructure for basic sanitation together with sanitary education.

Se llevó a cabo un estudio del incidente ambiental para establecer los efectos de la contaminación y la existencia de un brote epidémico. Se revisó, en el organismo local de salud, la información existente antes y después del incidente; se aplicó una encuesta epidemiológica, acompañada de la valoración clínica de los residentes en la zona y se tomaron muestras de piel en los casos sospechosos. Simultáneamente,  dos laboratorios privados y el laboratorio de una Universidad tomaron muestras de aguas y las analizaron en diversos parámetros. Los resultados de las diferentes mediciones estuvieron dentro de límites normales. Se encontraron cambios en el agua tanto antes como después del área de vertimiento, atribuible a contaminación prolongada con residuos de las viviendas y a deficiencias severas en el saneamiento ambiental de la Vereda. Además de las medidas de manejo inmediato se hicieron recomendaciones sobre la infraestructura de saneamiento básico y educación sanitaria.application/pdfspaRevista de Salud Públicahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/revsaludpublica/article/view/18939Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista de Salud PúblicaRevista de Salud PúblicaJournal of Public Health; Vol. 1, núm. 1 (1999); 53-57 Revista de Salud Pública; Vol. 1, núm. 1 (1999); 53-57 0124-0064Gómez, Luis and Amaya, Suli and Becerra, Carlos (1999) Assessment of an environmental incident in the town of cimitarra, santander.
