The results of this study were obtained from interview socioeconomic and biological analyzes of urine and hair of 94 people living in the city and environmental analyzes of soil, water and air to evaluate the presence of mercury in these environmental compartments. These results were the basis for the identification of risk and vulnerability of the population exposure to mercury in the environment, and provided subsidies for the development of risk communication strategies. In addition to the primary data, there was also a secondary data research and literature review. This study was conducted under the Project "Development of Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines for Health Surveillance of Populations Exposed to Mercury". This study demonstrated, along with research, the population of the city of Descoberto, Minas Gerais, It is environmentally exposed to mercury. The results of environmental samples were: Hg in the air with an average level of 39,4 ? 37,5 ng m-3, Hg soil with an average of 0,37 ? 0,71 mg kg-1 and Hg in water with values ranging from 1,1 a 2,8 ng L-1, and the results of biological samples were: Hg average level in the urine of 0,15 ? 0,30 ?g L-1 with the median 0,23 ?g L-1 and mercury levels in the hair of de ? 0,096 ?g g-1 a 1,92 ?g g-1 with a mean of 0,25 ? 0,28 ?g g-1and a median of 0,15 ?g g-1.Therefore in view of the characteristics of the population, as evidenced in the results of socio-economic research, the results of environmental and biological analyzes , prepared to risk communication strategies as one of the management measures of risk exposure and consequent health surveillance. Risk Communication in this folder and DVD model in order to achieve the objective information and reach the largest number of the population.
