Resumo: | Environmental sanitation is one of the most effective ways to health promotion, but not every population has access to this service, excluded mainly the poorest. The problem of sanitation and health becomes more visible in subnormal agglomerates, where a greater number of people exposed to risks, by lack of access to basic urban infrastructure. This descriptive exploratory survey was outlined from the survey data, aiming to meet the conditions of sanitation and environmental health of the Conjunto Cidadão`s residents, located in Senador Hélio Campos District in Boa Vista-RR. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire applied during semi structured interviews and participatory observation with photographic record. The data collected show that the population of the study area suffers health impacts related to inadequate environmental sanitation, evidenced by the high incidence of diseases such as diarrhea (48/100), parasites (32/100), hepatitis A (3/100), diseases skin (43/100), dengue (19/100), malaria (5/100), respiratory infections (28/100) and eye infections (17/100). Regarding sanitation, the majority of respondents do not have the garbage collected (83%), 100% of respondents are not connected to the public sanitary sewer, 95% are not served by the street cleaning service and land, not 83% are covered with drainage services and 84% of urban residents have stocked his home with public well water. As for the perception of respondents about the risks related to inadequate environmental sanitation, 97% claim to have knowledge of the risks to which they are exposed. In this perspective, the health problems must be understood in a broader social and environmental context and it is hoped that the information gathered can help in prevention and control of health problems related to inadequate environmental sanitation. |
