0124/2016 - Percepção da qualidade ambiental de localidades próximas ao Complexo Petroquímico do Rio de Janeiro Perception of environmental quality of nearby locations to the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro
O artigo tem por objetivo verificar a diferença da percepção de residentes sobre a qualidade ambiental de duas localidades próximas à área de construção do Complexo Petroquímico do Rio de Janeiro. Nove aspectos da qualidade ambiental (serviços de abastecimento de água, esgotamento sanitário e coleta de lixo; áreas de lazer; segurança pública; serviços de saúde; ruas; ar; rios) foram avaliados. Estudo transversal realizado com 240 residentes de Porto das Caixas e Manilha, ambos situados no município de Itaboraí-RJ, Brasil. A análise estatística envolveu o teste do qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher. Área de lazer foi o fator percebido igualmente pelos participantes das duas localidades do estudo com pior qualidade. A percepção da qualidade dos serviços de saúde, segurança e saneamento diferiu significativamente entre os moradores das duas localidades estudadas. A piora da qualidade ambiental foi relacionada por 51% dos residentes de Porto das Caixas à ausência de medidas mitigatórias após a ocorrência de um acidente químico local em 2005. A priorização de intervenções deve ser baseada na percepção de grupos populacionais específicos como estratégia que possa permitir a redução de iniquidades em saúde ambiental em contextos de instalação e construção de indústrias de petróleo e gás.

Abstract:
This article aims to verify the difference of perception of residents about the environmental quality of two locations near the construction area of the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro. Nine aspects of environmental quality (water supply, sanitation and garbage collection, recreation areas, public security, health services, roads, air, rivers) were evaluated. Cross-sectional study with 240 residents of Porto das Caixas and Manilha, both located in Itaboraí, RJ, Brazil. Statistical analysis included the chi-square test and Fisher‘s exact test. Recreation area was perceived factor by the participants of the two study locations with poorer quality. The perception of quality of health services, safety and sanitation differed significantly between residents of the two locations studied. The deterioration of environmental quality was related by 51% of residents of Porto das Caixas to the absence of mitigation measures after the occurrence of a local chemical accident in 2005. The prioritization of interventions should be based on perception of specific population groups as strategy that could lead to the reduction of inequalities in environmental health in contexts of installation and construction of oil and gas industries.
