Item Os riscos tecnológicos na sociedade de risco: possíveis danos da poluição eletromagnética à saúde humana(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2023-12-12) Alves, Mônica Oliveira; Barros, Juliana Ramalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3897963687114981; Barros, Juliana Ramalho; Leite, Marcos Esdras; Lima, Cláudia Valéria de; Chaveiro, Eguimar Felício; Santos, Nicali Bleyer Ferreira dosThe technological advancement experienced from the mid-20th century onwards has brought about a series of transformations in modern society. This applies both in terms of the benefits and conveniences offered by new technologies and the potential health risks, such as electromagnetic pollution, generated by products and infrastructures designed to meet the needs of urban populations. Globally, there is a growing public and regulatory concern about the impacts on human health due to exposure to risks generated by high-voltage power transmission lines in urban areas. In this context, there is a noticeable need to investigate this issue in Brazil, where cities, both medium and large, have experienced rapid and unplanned population growth, leading many people to reside near these infrastructures. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to analyze the issues related to the health risks generated by exposure to electromagnetic radiation from high-voltage power transmission lines in the urban space of Montes Claros/MG. The chosen location for the investigation was the city of Montes Claros, located in the north of Minas Gerais, where various population groups were observed inhabiting areas considered exposed to electromagnetic pollution generated by the mentioned sources. The methodological procedures involved literature and documentary research, mapping of areas exposed to risk, and surveys with the general population, particularly those residing in one of the risk areas in the city of Montes Claros. The results obtained demonstrated that there are various population groups residing in risk areas in the city, often in locations where occupation occurred irregularly, such as in the servitude zones of high-voltage lines, accentuating social exclusion and socio-spatial segregation in Montes Claros. It was also noted that the population has limited awareness of the risks they are exposed to, hindering the search for strategies and actions by civil society to mitigate the problem. Given the identified issues, it is suggested that further studies be conducted, and precautionary measures be implemented regarding these risks. This should involve the participation of public and private entities, the scientific community, and the general public, promoting a democratic risk management approach in Montes Claros and other urban centers in Brazil.Item Tempo meteorológico e ritmo climático: efeitos sobre a morbidade e a mortalidade causadas por doenças cardiovasculares no município de Goiânia – GO(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2021-08-05) Vasques, Hérika Silva; Barros, Juliana Ramalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3897963687114981; Chaveiro, Eguimar Felício; Nascimento, Diego Tarley Ferreira; Murara, Pedro Germano dos Santos; Pascoalino, Aline; Barros, Juliana RamalhoConsidering that the climate and weather interact in the Earth system and, consequently, with living things such as human beings, even the slightest seasonal variations and weather changes can trigger or significantly aggravate the health state and well-being of individuals. In this research, atmospheric elements such as maximum and minimum temperatures, low humidity and atmospheric pressure variation, have a prominent position. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate the relation between thermal variation and morbidity-mortality by cardiovascular diseases on the city of Goiânia, Goiás, from 1999 to 2017. For this, the Brazilian Geographic Climatology and the Geography of Health served as theoretical framework. The methodology was supported mainly by rhythmic analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient, with the first one allowing for a systemic approach. As for the major results, it was possible to observe that cardiovascular diseases in Goiânia are prevalent during winter and in advanced age groups. The statistical analysis allowed to infer that atmospheric pressure and low relative humidity of the air answer significantly for the aggravation of those diseases, since they were directly related to both intensive care admittance and fatal outcomes. Lastly, the dynamic evaluation, undertaken by the rhythmic analysis, evidenced that the southern and eastern currents can destabilize the human organism – during the passage of these systems on the studied area, there was an increase in the number of deaths.
