Produktbeschreibung

The objective of this book was to diagnose the management of solid waste from basic health units (UBS) in the urban area of the municipality of Pombal-PB. The methodology consisted of visits to the city hall and interviews with health agents aiming to map all the UBS of the city and the use of questionnaires applied to employees of basic health units in search of knowing the types of waste generated, analyze the segregation and packaging processes, verify the type of storage and the forms of final disposal. Subsequently, environmental control measures were proposed to protect the environment from possible damage. Based on the results, it was found that the waste generated in the UBS evaluated in this study were: infectious, chemical, sharp and common. The packaging of this waste is done in specific boxes, milky white bag with identification, common garbage cans and dumpsters. It was also found that the units did not participate in environmental education programs aimed at the importance of proper management of HSW.
