Abstract

WERNER, Antonio  and  SCARLATO, Eduardo. Miguel Ángel's tinnitus and its relation to toxicology. Acta toxicol. argent. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, pp.31-40. ISSN 1851-3743.

Lead has shown a close relationship with the fine arts’world through the pigments used by artists for thousand of years. Close contact with potentially dangerous chemical substances for health, almost always without occupational hygiene and safety measures, has produced, in many cases, occupational illnesses in these artists, sometimes suspected and in other cases, more than confirmed. In the present work, the history of Miguel Angel Buonarroti's working life is analyzed, since there is sufficient record to establish a causal link with occupational exposure to Lead.

Keywords : Art; Lead; Tinnitus; Ocupational intoxication; Ototoxicity; Miguel Ángel Buonarroti.
