Soil pollution of urban origin: environmental management of solid waste in the municipalities of Pernambuco Center Agreste | Poluição do solo de origem urbana: gestão ambiental de resíduos sólidos nos municípios do Centro de Pernambuco Agreste
2017
The Brazil has serious problems in the management of solid waste. The Pernambuco states occupies an area of approximately 98,146 square kilometers and is divided into 12 Regions Development, based on environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and geographic. The Northern Region Agreste has 19 municipalities with a population of approximately 430,222 habitants; the region faces problems of degradation and soil erosion, lack of sanitation, in addition to poor housing. Poor management and inadequate disposal have generated social and environmental impacts increasingly significant because the production system not only uses of natural resources, but also generates increasing amounts of materials in the form of waste on the environment. When using the landfill for final disposal of waste, this area suffers a high degree of negative environmental impacts such as contamination of the subsoil and groundwater in disposal sites. This research aims to present environmental problems on the management of municipal solid waste, its environmental damage of some municipalities of the Agreste and present some suggestions for programs and actions to improve environmental quality.
