Resumo:
A perspectiva de uma avaliação multidisciplinar que considere os impactos da modificação do meio ambiente sobre a saúde da população durante a implantação de projetos de desenvolvimento potencialmente poluidores, ainda é incipiente no Brasil. Considerando o cenário da construção de grandes empreendimentos no país, ampliar o olhar sobre a relação saúde-ambiente a partir dos processos sociais e econômicos de desenvolvimento, visando projetos ecologicamente sustentáveis, é uma estratégia fundamental. O presente artigo explora o debate sobre as relações entre o modelo de desenvolvimento vigente, os riscos, o ambiente e a saúde e discute a importância da participação do setor saúde nos processos de licenciamento ambiental, instrumento da Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental (AIA). Visando à construção de territórios mais sustentáveis, ambientalmente e socialmente, o setor saúde vem buscando oportunidades para participar dos processos de licenciamento de grandes empreendimentos, na perspectiva da AIA. Resultados de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito do Ministério da Saúde demonstrou a forma de participação nesses processos, apontando para as potencialidades e fragilidades que favorecem ou dificultam o fortalecimento de ações preventivas em saúde pública durante a implementação de grandes projetos de desenvolvimento no Brasil.

Abstract:
The prospect of multidisciplinary assessment that considers the environmental impacts on the health of the population during the implementation of projects potentially polluting, is still incipient in Brazil. Considering the scenario of building large projects in the country, broaden perspectives on the relationship between health and the environment from the processes of social and economic development to environmentally sustainable projects is a key strategy. This article explores the debate on the relationship between the current development model, the risks, the environment and health and discusses the importance of the participation of the health sector in the environmental licensing procedures, instrument of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Aiming at building environmentally and socially sustainable territories the health sector has been seeking opportunities to participate in the licensing processes of large projects in the perspective of EIA. Results of research conducted under the Ministry of Health, has demonstrated the form of participation in these processes, pointing to strengths and weaknesses that favor or hinder the strengthening of preventive actions in public health during the implementation of large development projects in Brazil.
