RESUMO:

This research explores a controversy surrounding the effects of radioactivity in the city of Lajes Pintadas-RN. The controversy came to light in 2016 and 2017: there is a clash between scientific knowledge and traditional knowledge about the correlation between radioactive minerals and the rates of neoplasms, cancer and other genetic diseases of the local population. From field work and documentary analysis, it is possible to show that scientists start from a classification of radioactive substances found in the soil, water and atmosphere of Lajes Pintadas to state that the diseases come from the generational contact with such substances. In turn, local residents use other categories of knowledge and use of radioactive ores, they do not explain the emergence of diseases by contact with minerals. The purpose of this research is to make the effects of radioactivity appear from the way controversial explanations meet, distance, and feed back on themselves. In this sense, this reflection can be understood as an investigation of the means of constructing scientific facts in contrast to the positions of the community that responds to these same certainties, whose focus is on the histories, practices, discourses and interactions directly or indirectly established between scientists and locals. Thus, analyzing this controversy from an anthropological point of view can serve as a basis for deepening the debate in which the contours among Science, Society, Health, Environment are relationally negotiated.
