Caracterização e eficiência do tratamento de efluentes em condomínio residencial em Teresina - PI

Abstract

Increasing urbanization has posed challenges to environmental management, particularly regarding effluent treatment in urban and peri-urban areas. The adequacy of sewage treatment systems in residential settings is one of these challenges. The impact of effluent discharges from sewage treatment plants into water bodies raises significant concerns about ensuring water quality. This study aims to evaluate the sewage treatment system of a residential condominium in the city of Teresina, Piauí. The methodology includes document analysis, data collection from the company, and field visits. The results indicate that, although operational reports show compliance with legal standards, the visual appearance of the treated effluent and the proximity of some parameters to the permitted limits reveal significant limitations in the evaluation system. The dark coloration of the final effluent underscores the need for stricter control and monitoring of Sewage Treatment Plants.
