Análise dos impactos ambientais frente à ausência do gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos nos municípios da microrregião de Frutal - MG

Abstract

The present study was carried out in eleven municipalities that make up the Triângulo Mineiro, administratively linked to the micro-region of Frutal/MG, in southeastern Brazil. In order to assess the relationship between the incidence of Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika diseases with the inadequate final destination of solid waste and the existence of a Municipal Waste Management Plan. The analysis was carried out using official data from the municipalities in the period from 2017 to 2019. As a methodological reference, the theoretical and philosophical guidelines of historical dialectical materialism are taken with a descriptive cross-sectional, quantitative and qualitative analytical method. The hypothesis is that the absence of the GRS causes harm to residents because it generates environmental, socio-economic and health problems resulting from the improper disposal of solid waste. The synoptic diagnosis was reproduced through research of the legislation added to the collection of laws and decrees. Thus, it was possible to appreciate the disclosure of official results, the history, the evolution and the current situation of the GRS in Brazil in order to collect concrete information despite the implementation of the environmental policy in the selected municipalities, assuming that the absence of this legal provision directly impacts the lives of the population. In the end, it is concluded that in fact Brazil has undergone an accelerated growth process where most municipalities do not implement environmental laws. The research showed deficiencies in the solid waste sector more latently in ten of the municipalities analyzed, which affects the quality of life and health of the population and generates irreparable impacts on the environment.
