Abstract:

One of the environmental health challenges is the proposition of indicators. For this purpose, the Ministry of Health (MH),recommendations of the WHO, proposes to use the Model of Driving Force, Pressure, State, Exposure, Effect, Action (FPSEEA). This paper aims to apply the FPSEEA Model in the medical waste management (MWM) and to propose environmental health indicators related to this issue. This is a documental research that used two data sources: a) technical reports of researches about MWMthe last 15 years (ambulatory, dental, hospital, veterinary, university and basic health unit) in the University of Caxias do Sul; b) Manual of the MH “Environmental Health: basic guide for the construction of indicators”. The systematization of the results allowed the identification of determinant factors for health risks and environmental risks arisingthe MWM, and propose indicators, of which, those related to the Situation-Exposure-Effects elements can be used in monitoring and improvement of the management process of such waste. The results indicate that the proposed model constitutes an important analysis tool, both in the MWM, as in the planning of actions that minimize risks, especially biological and chemical, resulting in health and environment protection.
