Abstract:

The article approaches the problematic ambient production and generation of urban solid residues, in particular the environment and health concept while social representation. From a bibliographical revision it argues the incorporation of the thematic health and environment in the practical field of knowledge and of interconnection with the Collective Health. It associates in this context the question of the social exclusion generated by the form of production and consumption of the after-modern society, introducing the garbage collectors as a vulnerable population group.
