Deposição irregular de resíduos sólidos na br 135 na cidade de Corrente - PI

Abstract

The residues found on highways mostly come from domicile and commercial sources. Many impacts can be generated due to inadequate waste disposal, lack of adequate management for the final disposal of solid waste, and lack of adequate political management of environmental education, contributing to the emergence of environmental problems and the health risk of the population. The objective of this study was to identify the irregular deposition sites of solid residues along the federal highway, as well as to classify them as composition and origin. This work presents the methodology of data collection and the initial description of the results obtained in on-site visits, carried out from December 8, 2018 to April 14, 2019, at BR-135 in Corrente-PI to identify the composition, type and the origin in relation to the irregular deposition of solid residues along the highway. The collected data refer to photographic records and geographic positioning (GPS), for the elaboration of thematic maps. It was verified that in the BR-135 it presents / displays great amount of solid waste deposition, in which allows to have notion of its origins being able to be in the majority of the registered points of sources, commercial, domiciliares and civil construction. The population centers that live around the BR-135 are devoid of urban solid waste management. The results made it possible to verify that there is a problem that requires attention, in order to minimize the impacts resulting from these actions, as well as governmental measures. This activity occurs due to the lack of awareness of the population, further aggravating the incorrect practice of solid waste deposition on the banks of BR-135. The information collected contributes to the knowledge that there are existing irregular practices of solid waste deposition on the banks of BR-135, which shows the need to adopt environmental management practices that are useful to elaborate mitigating measures to extinguish thes e actions.
