Resumo: |
In 1950 Cubatao presented "a population" under ten thousand people. Cubatao until then had its economy based on the cultivation of bananas and in just a few decades has been transformed into the largest petrochemical complex in Latin America. This industrialization, unprecedented in Brazilian history, began with the installation of President Arthur Bernardes Refinery in Cubatão (RPBC (RPBC). The concentration of this petrochemical complex and excessive introduction of air and water pollutants in Cubatao Valley provided a variety of illnesses to people's health and local ecosystems, leading the city to be regarded as "one of the most polluted in the world" in the late 1980. The points of this research are: Distinguish the motives for to the choice of Cubatao as the most appropriate location for the installation of RPBC; Analyze the possible manifestations of scientists about the choice of location and the losses of the process over the decades mentioned. Therefore, we used Digital Collection of documents from the National Archives, as well as other studies and research work of the period. The results indicate that several factors of military order, strategic, political and economic have been involved in the choice of location of the refinery installation, however the concern for the environment not has guided any discussion. The analyzed research suggests that the scientific community itself has supported the refinery installation in the region, or considered at first that the problems were natural and passenger character. When this community became aware of the irreversible ills, the military regime did not allow criticism. The many published works on the Cubatão´s environmental question after the democracy suggest that this phenomenon is related to the consolidation of some specific terms of the environmental science |
