O tema do presente estudo é o gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde (RSS) em hospitais. Os RSS são os resíduos provenientes de todos os estabelecimentos prestadores de serviços de saúde, tais como hospitais, laboratórios, serviços de diagnóstico e tratamento, centros de saúde, clínicas, institutos de medicina legal e outros. O gerenciamento correto dos RSS significa não só controlar e diminuir os riscos, mas também alcançar a redução da quantidade de resíduos desde o ponto de origem, que elevaria também a qualidade e a eficiência dos serviços que proporciona o estabelecimento de saúde. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é analisar o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde nos hospitais de Porto Alegre. O método empregado para atingir o objetivo proposto foi a pesquisa descritiva por meio de um levantamento de todos os integrantes do universo pesquisado – censo nos 28 hospitais de Porto Alegre. Foram utilizadas como fontes secundárias informações obtidas em seminários relacionados ao tema. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a segregação na origem e o encaminhamento à reciclagem, reduzem o volume de resíduos destinados ao aterro sanitário, acarretando em benefícios ambientais e sociais, e, em alguns casos, economia de recursos financeiros para o estabelecimento de saúde. Os problemas relacionados ao gerenciamento de RSS estão diretamente ligados à conscientização de funcionários, médicos e gerência do hospital, da importância da correta segregação, armazenagem e manuseio dos resíduos. Problemas secundários são a falta de recursos e espaço físico. Observou-se deficiências em relação a planejamento, documentação e estatísticas básicas para tomada de decisão no gerenciamento dos RSS. É necessária uma maior mobilização por parte dos estabelecimentos hospitalares para a discussão da legislação e de soluções de problemas, com ações concretas guiadas por objetivos e metas a serem alcançados, compatíveis com a realidade dos hospitais.

O presente trabalho constitui o Relatório Final de um projeto de pesquisa financiado pelo Núcleo de Pesquisas e Publicações da FGV-EAESP. Analisam-se nele os Planos de Gestão de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde PGRSS de uma amostra de 70 hospitais nacionais, elaborados em 2003, como resultado de um curso de educação a distância, ministrado por um consórcio formado entre a Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina e a Fundação Getulio Vargas. O curso foi sugerido pela UNESCO e financiado por bancos internacionais, com intermediação do REFORSUS. Para cada Plano, foram tabulados, em planilha EXCEL, 164 itens, sendo 12 informações gerais sobre o hospital, 141 relativas à infra-estrutura e aos procedimentos atualmente usados e 11 referentes ao plano futuro de gestão de resíduos. Diagnosticou-se a situação desses hospitais no tocante ao manejo dos resíduos, classificados como infectantes, químicos, radioativos, comuns e perfurocortantes, desde a coleta, o armazenamento e o tratamento interno até a remoção, o tratamento externo e a disposição final. A água, desde a fonte de suprimento até seu consumo, os efluentes líquidos e as emissões gasosas também foram objeto de investigação. Foram avaliados ainda, sob os aspectos técnico e econômico, os planos elaborados pelos hospitais para a gestão futura dos seus resíduos. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os hospitais estudados se encontram em sua maioria numa fase incipiente em matéria de gestão dos seus resíduos, carecendo de infra-estrutura, recursos financeiros e humanos e gerenciamento, existindo considerável distância entre a gestão atual dos resíduos e as exigências legais que os hospitais devem cumprir nas áreas sanitária e ambiental.

The environmental management in the health establishments is a reality still little explored in the health sector in Brazil, especially concerning its wastes. The management of wastes of health services is established in the valid legislation through the National Council of Environment and Sanitary Vigilance Agency (358/2005 and 304/2004 respectively). The present work is about a descriptive work about the environmental health in the health services. The used criterion was to diagnose the environmental management in twelve establishments of health inserted in the three levels of complexity of the Unique Health System (Sistema Ùnico de Saúde SUS). Among the sub criteria used the waste management is the one of bigger concern. The one referring to the water quality is considered good. The analysis of data reveals that 66% of the establishments got a poor environmental ranking, 17% critical and 17% appropriate, showing that the health establishments in the three levels of complexity of the SUS need urgent structural, environmental and educational interventions

Health care waste (HCW) is the type of waste that results from activities performed in health care services during care provision to humans or animals. Presently, according to RDC 306/04, issued in 2004 by Anvisa, and Resolution no. 358/05, by CONAMA, waste groups have the following classification: Group A (biological waste), Group B (chemical waste), Group C (waste containing radionucleotides), Group D (common waste) and Group E (piercing and cutting waste). In Brazil, 149 tons of wastes are collected every day, and HCW corresponds to approximately 1% to 3 % of that total. An efficient way to adequately manage HCW is through the Health Care Waste Management Plan (HCWMP), and it is possible to reduce the risk posed by certain materials in addition to ensuring disposal in an ecologically correct and economical fashion. According to the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), the management process enables health care establishments to adequately manage waste. Hence, there is greater control and reduction in the health risks caused by infectious or special waste, in addition to facilitated recycling, treatment, storage, transport and final disposal of solid hospital waste in an environmentally safe fashion. To evaluate the management of HCW of Groups A and D from the Intensive Care Unit of the University Emergency Hospital - FMB - UNESP in the city of Botucatu according to the guidelines presently in force. The waste flow was followed up, and during four random days in the month of September 2011, waste was quantified by estimating daily and monthly values, according to its classification. : In 2011, the University hospital has produced an average of 57,676.8 kg/month of biological and common waste. By adding Groups A and D, during the four days, approximately 209.8 Kg of waste (202.2 Kg of Group A and 7.6 Kg of Group D) were produced in the establishment under study, which...

The Health Care Wastes (HCW) present serious risks to health and to the environment, if incorrectly managed, because in addition to the presence of pathogenic agents, the may pollute the soil and the water. Thus, a study was performed aiming at diagnosing the HCW management in Araraquara (SP), identifying the difficulties of the agents (municipal gestors and managers of institutions which generate this wastes) in implanting the HCW management Plan (HCWMP) proposed by ANVISA, in order to subside the HCWMP implantation. The methodology was based on question applications in health centers selected to be the samples, and on quantitative data related to the phases of Treatment and Final Disposal, provided by DAAE. As a result, it was observed that a great part of the interviewed centers managed these wastes according to norm RDC no 306/ 2004 of ANVISA. However, only 24% of the interviewed centers knew about this norm, and only 22% of them had the HCWMP. The difficulties in managing the HCW concentrated in the correct segregation of theses wastes in the generation source. The large number of people involved in this phase suggests the causes of the difficulties.

The present work aimed to quantify the generation of group B health care`s residuals in places such as drugstores and pharmacies, in the municipality of Uberaba, MG, Brazil, as well as to identify their final destination in those places during the months of July and September, 2010. In order to also verify the medicaments generated by the whole community, some delivery campaigns were arranged to capture out-of-date medicaments at 3 drugstores. In this sense, all people who effectively looked for a pharmacy/drugstore to deposit the medicaments were invited to respond some questions, containing information about the name of the medicament, the pharmaceutical composition, the color applicable to the medicament and the expiration date. At the end of the period of research, 76 interviews were performed and 90 medicaments were observed (1.18 products per interview, in average). Results obtained suggested that pharmacies/drugstores located downtown tend to generate more medicaments than others located in the districts and periphery zones. Moreover, manipulation drugstores tend to generate more products than their conventional counterparts. Regarding the therapeutic classes, the anti-hypertensive medicaments represented the most substantial percentage of the medicaments delivered, accounting for 21,11%. However, the worst scenario tends to show that people usually do not know exactly how to discard this sort of product – about 65% of the people consulted discard chemical pharmaceutical residuals in the same place the domestic trash is thrown away – what may represent a serious risk in terms of contamination of the environment, so that a strong campaign towards the proper usage and discharge of medicaments should be strongly encouraged

Health Care Waste (HCW) represents 1%, and it has presently gained a lot of importance. Adequate management is one of the great challenges to be faced by health care centers. It has gained distinction and been widely discussed by members of the sectors involved with sanitation, public health and environmental issues due to waste physical, chemical biological characteristics, which pose potential risk to the environment and public health. The present study aims at evaluating HCW internal management by following all its phases, determining indicators, classifying and quantifying, establishing production rates (kg /patient/day) for the sector and designing materials to disseminate appropriate HCW disposal in the Emergency Room of the UNESP University Hospital in the city of Botucatu according to the guidelines presently in force. : From June to October 2011, the waste flow was observed from its production to final disposal. Four weight measurements were performed on four consecutive days in the month of August by using a properly calibrated (in grams) digital scale at the times scheduled for collection of the produced waste. Hence, the daily and monthly amounts were estimated according to their classification. All the waste packaged in the bags in garbage cans in the Emergency Room for a 24-hour period was considered to be a sample. Separation was not adequately performed in that sector, and waste from Group A was mixed with that from Group D. The amount of infectious waste produced in the sector corresponded to 87.80 %, common waste to 10.93 % and recyclable waste to 1.27%. The mean daily HCW production was of 123.300 kg/day, and the total monthly production was of 3,822 kg/month, which was distributed as follows: Group A 3,355,750 kg/month; Group D 417,570 kg/month and recyclables 48,670 kg/month. The production rate corresponded to 0.47 kg/patient/day, thus showing... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O tratamento e o destino final dos resíduos sólidos de serviços de saúde são assuntos que têm gerado controvérsias no tocante às alternativas tecnológicas disponíveis e aos riscos para a saúde pública e ao meio ambiente. O presente trabalho consistiu na caracterização físico-química e toxicológica de lixiviados de resíduos de serviços de saúde e de lixo domiciliar coletados pela Companhia Municipal de Limpeza Urbana (COMLURB) na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e teve por objetivo subsidiar a discussão com relação à questão da necessidade de tratamento e disposição final diferenciada para os resíduos de serviços de saúde. Os resultados obtidos ilustram uma biodegradabilidade não tão elevada dos lixiviados das Células experimentais C1, C2 e C3, onde C1 contém 100% de RSD, C2 100% de RSS e C3 98% de RSD em mistura com 2% de RSS. Percolados oriundos de aterros sanitários novos se caracterizam nomalmente por valores elevados de biodegradabilidade. No entanto, os resultados mostram um baixo nível de biodegradabilidade dos lixiviados das Células experimentais C1, C2 e C3. Os parâmetros físico-químicos analisados indicam que os microorganismos encontram-se ainda na fase de adaptação ao meio. Os resultados mostraram mais similaridades do que diferenças no lixiviado gerados da disposição de RSD, RSS e sua codisposição durante um período de 60 dias de operação das células experimentais.
