Abstract:

The waste generated by facilities that perform health-related activities are considered dangerous because of their chemical, physical and biological components. These components offer contamination risk to the environment and to the people who have contact with them. It's necessary to know these residues very well, providing them proper disposal, with proper management and administration of generators, reducing the risk of contamination. Cities, due to the concentration of people, services and equipment, and the privileged locus of social life, also present problems related to collective life in a process of implosion-explosion. The concentration of people, activities and necessary tools for urban life can generate a burst of fragments harmful to society. The improper management of waste can pose health into fragments that reach urban life, especially with regard to public health, damaging the city as a complex socio and spacial set. Given the above, this paper analyzed the generation of waste from health services in the city of Rio Verde, based on the characterization of procedures in relation to its proper treatment and disposal. Therefore, the data have been collected, with reference to the thematic in question, in the municipal, state and federal agencies, as ANVISA, City Hall, the Municipal Health Department, Municipal Environment Department. Waste management of health services isn't yet satisfactorily accomplished, especially when it concerns the segregation and storage. Guidelines such as the environmental impact assessment for the installation of waste treatment techniques, continuing education processes that clarify the managers and generators for the responsibility of establishing and implementing the waste management plan of health services, and a more effective supervision by regulatory agencies is even necessary.
