Análises de risco na operação de usinas de reciclagem de resíduos eletroeletrônicos (REEE)

Abstract: Resumo O manuseio de resíduos eletroeletrônicos (REEE), se executado de forma inadequada, possui grande potencial para causar severos danos ao meio ambiente e à saúde dos trabalhadores que executam estas tarefas. A identificação e avaliação de riscos ambientais, de saúde e segurança do trabalhador são ferramentas essenciais para prevenir acidentes e garantir um ambiente saudável. Embora no país exista extensa legislação acerca do assunto, não há por parte das empresas recicladoras, o reconhecimento e tratament… Show more

“…The growing generation of WEEE, low collection and recycling rates and inappropriate disposal pose risks to the environment and human health (Caetano et al, 2019;Forti et al, 2020). WEEE contains potentially toxic materials such as the mercury used in 55-inch flat-screen TVs and fluorescent lamps, and the flame retardants added to the plastics that coat smaller EEE.…”

“…The disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (e-waste) in 2019 set a new record of 53.6 metric tons, of which it is estimated that only 17.4% was disposed of adequately (United Nations, 2021). In other words, 82.6%, 44.3 Mt of WEEE was not disposed of properly, impacting the environment and human health (Caetano et al, 2019;Forti et al, 2020), due to the toxic substances contained in this waste. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU, 2021) warned that global WEEE is expected to reach 74 MT by 2030, becoming the fastest growing stream of household waste, almost doubling over a period of sixteen years.…”

“…Outrossim, Caetano et al (2019), o qual realizam um levantamento dos riscos ambientais e saúde em sistemas de gerenciamento de resíduos eletrônicos, explanam que para promover a segurança no trabalho é necessário adotar medidas de controle para a proteção dos colaboradores, como investir em um mapeamento dos riscos, fornecimento de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI's) e treinamento pessoal.…”

“…Many experiences have been applied in some countries, e.g., [23] applies the LCA approach to the WEEE sector in Belgium, [24] uses it in the UK, and [25] in Korea. As reported by [26], the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches also contribute to managing environmental risks through their ability to analyze various aspects at the same time (including environmental aspects).…”
