Resumen
The Social and cultural changes and new patterns of consumption this century cant be detached from a new environment moral ethics. In this context, the waste of Health Services (RSS - Resíduo de Serviços de Saúde) and non-domestic wastewater generated in research laboratories are a challenge because, in addition to the environmental issues inherent for any residue, they also bring with them a concern for infection control in sites that provide health services. If these wastes are managed inappropriately probably they will bring serious damages to environmental health.. We need an integrated environmental awareness involving participants who are connected to this question. This work had as main objective the development of an Integrated Management Program for Waste and Wastewater (PGIRSSEF Programa deGerenciamento Integrado de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde e Efluente Líquido) , using a typical ICB research laboratory, Biochemical Genetics Laboratory (LGB Laboratório de Genética Bioquímica), located in Biochemistry and Immunology Department. The LGB waste, produced after 7 consecutive days were classified in accordance with the legislation and quantified by weighing, waste group and type. Concomitantly all liquid effluents emitted during this period were quantified. At this period LGB doesnt generated residues in group C (radioactive). The average in this period of all waste generated per person corresponded to 0,562Kg per week. LGB has generated 1522,53 L of wastewater per week. The wastewater average generated per person corresponded to 37,13 L per week. With these results we conclude that LGB reduced 67% of total RSS production between 2005 and 2010, suggesting that LGB work to minimize intake use, product substitutions and other mitigation measures were responsible for this reduction. It is necessary PGIRSSEL evaluations and periodic reviews for future RSS and EL consumption assessments. Finally, we hope that PGIRSSEL may encourage other UFMG typical laboratories and other research institutions.
