The relationship between basic sanitation and health is increasingly inserted in studies of theeconomic sciences, in view of the concern with social well-being. In this sense, this studyanalyzes the spatial issues that involve the effects of access to inadequate sanitation conditionson infant mortality rates for Brazilian states in the years 1991, 2000 and 2010. For this, spatialpanel data models were used, the infant mortality rat e (0 to 1 year) and childhood mortality rate(0 to 5 years) being used as dependent variables. The results indicate that inadequate accessto sanitation services has a positive impact on infant mortality and mortality in childhood.Likewise, there is a spillover effect between neighboring municipalities on infant mortality rateswith regard to inadequate sanitation conditions.
