“…The numbers provided by the SNIS are similar to those exposed by Abelpre (2020). According to the Panorama of Solid Waste in Brazil, the Southeast region sends the most The concentration of studies verified between the Southeast and South regions in the present study was also noted in the study by Morita et al (2021). In addition, the authors analyzed the scientific contributions of the studies and concluded that the contributions are limited since most were published in Portuguese or low-impact journals.…”

“…Despite the high investment required, geophysical studies are assertive, as they detect anomalies in the subsoil, and reduce the need to obtain direct data. However, what is perceived is the carrying out of soil sampling and installation of monitoring wells without a preliminary investigation, not knowing the location of the contamination plume, which can lead to erroneous interpretations (MORITA et al, 2021).…”

Sanitary landfills are considered a solution to the problem of increasing solid waste generation. However, these places can become sources of active contamination through leachate leakage. Investigating these locations is necessary to identify contaminated areas and carry out remediation processes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify areas contaminated by the disposal of solid waste in sanitary landfills in Brazil, as well as the analyzed environmental matrices, the investigation techniques used, and the parameters evaluated. The selection of articles was based on a systematic review in peerreviewed scientific article databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springer, and Scielo). Eleven studies were selected, from which the use of indirect (4) and direct (7) methods were verified; analyses were performed on soil (2), surface water (3), and groundwater (4) matrices. The main parameters evaluated were physicochemical and metal concentration. Despite the confirmation of contamination, it was found that there is no protocol used for the investigation of areas contaminated by the disposal of solid waste in these studies. The method of collection and depth of the samples may imply significant differences in the results of the physical-chemical analyses. Therefore, geophysical methods are recommended to assist in sampling planning, following sampling standards and protocols, and the inclusion of new parameters to be analyzed.

“…Nesse sentido, optou-se por uma técnica de avaliação de riscos do tipo semiqualitativa, recomendada pela OMS (WHO, 2011;2012;2016) e pelo Ministério da Saúde (BRASIL, 2012). Utilizaram-se, em conjunto, normas e estudos de proposição (BARTRAN et al, 2009;ABNT, 2018, 2021, BEZERRA, 2018, aplicados em áreas urbanas (GODFREY et al;2005;BAZGIR et al, 2020) e rurais (PUNDIR et al, 2021;MILLER;WHITEHILL;DEERE, 2005;LANE et al, 2021).…”

Nowadays, apply risk assessment processes, from health perspective in all basic sanitation components (water supply, sanitary sewage, solid waste and rainwater management), in order to follow the Resolution 64/292 it is a reality. In this context, this article aimed to propose a risk assessment process (RAP) for collective basic sanitation structures and apply it on a riverside community in Goiás state of Brazil. The steps used included scope definition, technique selection for risk assessment and RAP approach and application. The community studied was Arraial da Ponte, which has collective systems for water supply, solid waste and rainwater management. The selected technique was the probability/consequence matrix, according to the criteria established in NBR IEC/ISO 31010:2021 and proposal included identification stages of RAP risk factors, hazards, contamination route and hazardous events, as well as characterization and risk prioritization. It was based on the components of risk management process of NBR ISO 31000 and on World Health Organization recommendations described for water and sanitary sewage safety plan manuals. As result, health risks were identified in all basic sanitation components, with levels ranging from moderate to unacceptable. The risks showed need for greater attention from managers, as effective public policies implementation. Finally, the RAP managed to prioritize hazardous events and their associated risks, being able to help in the construction of plans and investments in the evaluated community.

“…Despite this information gap, investigations already carried out show that Brazil still faces major problems in the collection and especially in the final disposal of waste, and according to Alfaia et al ( 2017 ), less than 60% of the collected waste has an adequate destination in Brazilian municipalities and, especially in small municipalities, there are important difficulties in adapting to the Brazilian National Policy on Solid Waste (NPSW) (Pereira and Fernandino 2019 ). Morita et al ( 2021 ), in their review on the subject in Brazil, drew attention to the fact that inadequate management of solid waste is directly linked to the contamination of all environmental compartments (especially soil and water) and that, on a national scale, many of these impacts have gone unnoticed. The need for more efficient alternatives both from a legal and political framework, as well as sustainable technologies, is urgent for those authors.…”

2030 Agenda: discussion on Brazilian priorities facing air pollution and climate change challenges

The advance of human activities in a disorderly way has accelerated in recent decades, intensifying the environmental impacts directly linked to these practices. The atmosphere, essential for the maintenance of life, is increasingly saturated with pollutants, offering risks to practically all the inhabitants of the planet, a process that, in addition to causing illness and early mortality, is related to serious financial losses (including in the production of goods), dangerous temperature increase and severe natural disasters. Although this perception is not recent, the global initiative to control the different mechanisms that trigger the commitment of biodiversity and irreversible climate changes arising from pollution is still very incipient, given that global initiatives on the subject emerged just over 50 years ago. Brazil is a territory that centralizes many of these discussions, as it still faces both political and economic obstacles in achieving a sustainable growth model as it was agreed through the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Even though there is little time left for the completion of these goals, much remains to be done, and despite the fulfillment of this deadline, the works will certainly need to be extended for much longer until an effective reorientation of consciousness occurs. Scientific researches and discussions are fundamental tools to the understanding of issues still little explored in this field.
