This article discusses how complex it is to carry out a study assessing the impactof Brazilian pre-salt oil drilling on health. Then, it focuses on reviewing theliterature published and indexed on Web of Science on “oil spill” and “healthimpacts” topics. A total of 64 scientific articles published from 1989 to 2012and containing those keywords were analyzed. Such studies indicate that thereare short and long-term effects on human health; and they include impactson mental and psychological health, skin and eye lesions, nausea, headache,and even cancer risks, endocrine disruption, and potential hazards to thereproductive system of both men and women.Downloads
