Indicador de salubridade ambiental em 21 municípios do estado de Goiás com serviços públicos de saneamento básico operados pelas prefeituras

Abstract

This study evaluated the environmental health conditions of 21 municipalities in the state of Goiás with basic public sanitation services operated directly by the Prefectures. The Environmental Health Indicator (ISA) proposed by CONESAN was adapted according to the availability of the existing data. The situations found were: 9.5% of healthy municipalities, 28.6% with average health and 61.9% with low health, and the indicators that most influenced the results were those of sanitary sewage and solid waste. The study showed the importance of researching on the health situation and allowed to verify which services deserve to receive immediate interventions and, therefore, both economic and technical investment in the municipal systems studied.
