Elaboração do plano de gerenciamento de resíduos de serviço de saúde: um estudo de caso em uma clinica odontológica na cidade de São Gabriel-RS

Abstract

The growth of population and industrialization contributes to the increase of waste and the complexity allied to them. The lack of responsibility of the society towards the management of the generated waste puts at risk the environment and public health. The Health Service Waste (SSR) presents peculiar characteristics, such as: biological, chemical and radionuclide risk, which causes them to receive special attention from public authorities and society. In this context, this study is based on the elaboration of a Health Service Waste Management Plan (PGRSS), and the analysis of the management carried out by the organization before the current normative framework. The study is divided into four moments: bibliographical study, site diagnosis, elaboration of the Health Service Waste Management Plan, and analysis of the PGRSS before the normative framework, and its general objective is the elaboration of the PGRSS. The analysis of the management plan was carried out through the stages described in the PGRSS, being: segregation, packaging, identification, internal transportation, temporary storage and final treatment. An interface was developed for the description of management carried out by the organization and what the normative framework provides. It can be observed that the management performed by the company presents nonconformities before the legislation. The suggestion was made to comply with it. It should be noted that ANVISA's RDC 306 of 2004 assigns responsibility for the management of RSS to generators. Linking development to sustainability can become concrete from the reuse and recycling of waste. In the context of RSS, the reuse of metals present in the components of the fixative effluent and the X-ray developer, can serve as an example, as it adds economic and environmental gains to the generators, contributing effectively to sustainable development.
