Abstract

The current research aims to analyze the toxicology of pictorial materials and health risks of the plastic artist from Peru. The methodological process was developed from a type of documentary research with bibliographic design, having as a population sample 10 publications related to the subject in order to know the toxicological risks to which Peruvian plastic artists are exposed when they translate their works for the approval of the spectators. The toxicity of the materials that can be used in the work, among which are mercury, lead, arsenic, among others, unknown at the time of using the material that can cause serious damage to health as happened with Ardystil syndrome, which was counterproductive for human health, making it necessary to promote the awareness of both the artist and the manufacturers to avoid harmful actions against human and environmental life.
