Resumo
Environmental preservation is a current point of view of organizations and governments concerned with meeting the new laws that contemplate sustainable development. Chemical waste is one of nature's degradation sources. Although laboratories in higher education institutions compared to industries produce lower volumes of chemical residues, their generation is more diverse and consequently their complexity also impacts the environment. In the search for the reduction of these impacts, it was verified that there are in the literature several reports of experiences of chemical waste management programs in universities, however a reference model for implementation of chemical waste management was not found. Thus, the objective of this work is to develop a generic proposal for chemical waste management in public university laboratories, based on the case of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG). For that, a bibliographical and documentary research was carried out to elaborate a generic model of chemical waste management for public universities. To validate the proposed generic model, a case study was done in the educational, research and service delivery laboratories of UFG’s School of Pharmacy and Institute of Chemistry. Data were collected through documents, interviews with professors and technicians responsible for the laboratories. In addition, work on chemical waste management of some interviewees was considered. Among the main results, it is worth highlighting the developed model that presents five pillars: prevention, minimization, safe management, environmental education and continuous improvement, and that guides the safe management of chemical residues, which comprises three stages of management: stage inside the generating laboratory; stage outside the laboratory generator and the stage outside the institution of higher education. From the application of the model at UFG, it is possible to confirm greater adherence in the laboratories of service delivery, a fact that is justified due to the inspection to which they are submitted. It is noticed that universities still need to strengthen the management of chemical waste in their laboratories. Among the contributions of this research stand out the developed generic model of chemical waste management in public universities and the presented proposals of improvement in the chemical waste management at UFG.
