Knowing the organizational profile of the companies representing the phytocosmetics segment installed in the state and knowing who their partners are and the types of knowledge they use and creat e can be the first step towards the creation of networks that stimulate the sector in the State, promoting local development And the competitiveness of these companies.

One concern that plagues the contemporary population is the pollution of water sources. When a water ecosystem is degraded and modified by anthropic actions, environmental and human survival is a risk. The release of freshwater effluents into water resources results in several socio-environmental problems, significant impacts on aquatic life and the environment as a whole. In this way, this work presents results of the analysis of the surface waters using Microbiological Parameters in 06 points of the Igarapé in the city o f Benjamin Constant-AM, in order to know the levels of water pollution from microbiological agents such as the presence and quantity of Thermotolerant Bacteria, Total and Heterotrophic Coliforms. It was verified that in one of the Parameters analyzed the value exceeded the limit allowed by the Ministry of Health (2011) and Conama Resolution nº 357 of 03/17/200503/17/ (CONAMA, 2011, returning the concern to some residents who still use the surface waters for domestic purposes, allowing the appearance of diseases characteristic of impacted water ecosystems. It is necessary to encourage and carry out actions aimed at the preservation and conservation of the Igarapé, enabling the formation of work centers to study ways of reversing and minimizing the Environmental Degradation framework.

It is undeniable that environmental protection is of increasing importance to society as a whole, given its vital importance for the survival of man on planet earth. In this way, the State adopted a rigid posture that reflected through governmental actions, due to the exercise of its legal function, elaborating laws and regulations that aim at the protection and conscious use of natural resource s, as well as the mechanisms of reprimand to the violators. Thus, in spite of environmental law, the present work seeks to highlight and discuss the incidence of prescribed under the environmental administrative processes established from the practices of acts considered illegal the legal norms attached to the environment, reflected by reason of the processing time, intercurrent prescription, due to the eternalization of these processes, considering that this administrative position is unbearable for the administered, because, the same results in embargoes and interferences in the legal relations between the pairs -Administrators and Public Administration, since the administrative inertia unjustifiably harms the delay in the regular progress of the process.
