@entity349 ( @entity5332 ) is a global pollutant that is released into the environment from geologic and anthropogenic sources. Once it enters an organism, it generates several @entity137 mechanisms and oxidative stress has been proposed as the main one. Metal susceptibility is greater in @entity1 , which is a result of their physiology and behavior. In Yucatan, Mexico, burning of unregulated garbage dumps and household trash, ingestion of top marine predators, and pottery manufacturing are among the conditions that could promote @entity5332 exposure. However, for Yucatan, there are no published studies that report @entity5332 levels and associated oxidative stress status in @entity1 . Therefore, this study aimed to assess @entity5332 levels in blood and urine and oxidative stress biomarkers levels in a sample of 107 healthy @entity1 from three localities in Yucatan, Mexico, as well as investigate the relationship between these parameters. @entity5332 was detected in 11 (10.28%) of blood samples and 38 (35.51%) of urine samples collected from the participating @entity1 . Fourteen subjects showed @entity5332 above recommended levels. The oxidative stress biomarkers were slightly elevated in comparison with other studies and were statistically different between the sampling sites. No linear correlation between @entity5332 levels and oxidative stress biomarkers was found. Nevertheless, exploratory univariate and multivariate analysis showed non-linear relations among the measured variables. Globally, the study provides, for the first time, information regarding @entity5332 levels and their relationship with oxidative stress biomarkers in a juvenile population from Mexico's southeast (Yucatan) region. In agreement with worldwide concern about @entity5332 , this study should stimulate studies on metal monitoring in @entity1 (especially @entity1 ) among scientists working in Mexico, the establishment of polices for its regulation, and the reduction of @entity1 health risks.
