Resumen

Se determinan las concentraciones de Ni, Cu, Zn y Pb mediante Fluorescencia de Rayos X en muestras de suelos y polvos urbanos de la localidad de Regla (La Habana, Cuba). Los resultados obtenidos se comparan con los contenidos de metales reportados para La Habana y áreas industriales de otras ciudades cubanas y del mundo. El empleo de indicadores de contaminación, de riesgo ecológico y toxicológico, permitió evaluar el impacto que inducen las industrias locales sobre la salud de la población. Los valores calculados de los índices de peligrosidad y de riesgo carcinogénico para los metales estudiados indican un rango aceptable de riesgo no-carcinogénico y carcinogénico para niños y adultos.
