Resumo: | The pharmaceutical industry is one of the main activities that drive the global economy, due to the high population growth, the evolution in the understanding of pathologies and the continuous research involving several substances that can be applied therapeutically. These factors directly influence a greater control of diseases that is due to the constant production, release and use of medicines that have the purpose of preventing, treating, alleviating or diagnosing. Therefore, it is natural to accumulate drug residues that need to be disposed of correctly, however, this does not occur and they are released into the environment, thus causing harmful damage due to the high variability of existing substances in its composition. Given that Brazil is one of the world's largest consumers of medicines, we need to study and understand how and where these substances are ending their life cycle. Due to the need for continuing research on the disposal of medicines and because it is a public and environmental health problem, this study aimed to make a diagnosis of the knowledge of the population of the municipality of Serraria located in the state of Paraíba about the disposal of possible damages generated by the application of improper disposal. Through the application of questionnaires to the residents of the aforementioned municipality, it was possible to confirm the existence of improper disposal of medicines in places that are not prepared for this exposure, being the common waste used as the main form of disposal in the studied municipality. The lack of information and dissemination about the inappropriate disposal and the environmental impacts generated by the drugs proved to be quite evident, so it is necessary to efficiently employ environmental education and awareness so that correct habits are used by residents. |

Esses fatores influenciam diretamente em um maior controle de doenças que é decorrente da constante produção, liberação e utilização de medicamentos que possuem a finalidade de prevenir, tratar, aliviar ou diagnosticar. Por isso, torna-se natural o acúmulo de resíduos de medicamentos que necessitam ser descartados de forma correta, porém, isto não ocorre e os mesmos são liberados no meio ambiente, ocasionando assim danos nocivos pela alta variabilidade de substâncias existentes em sua composição. Tendo em vista que o Brasil é um dos maiores consumidores mundiais de medicamentos é preciso estudar e compreender como e onde essas substâncias estão encerrando o seu ciclo de vida. Pela necessidade da continuidade de pesquisas acerca do descarte de medicamentos e por se tratar de um problema de saúde pública e ambiental, este trabalho teve como principal objetivo realizar um diagnóstico do conhecimento da população do município de Serraria localizado no Estado da Paraíba acerca do descarte de medicamentos e dos possíveis danos gerados pela aplicação de formas inadequadas de disposição. Por meio da aplicação de questionários aos moradores do citado município foi possível confirmar a existência do descarte inadequado de medicamentos em locais que não estão preparados para essa exposição, sendo o lixo comum utilizado como principal forma de descarte no município estudado. A ausência de informação e divulgação acerca do descarte inadequado e dos impactos ambientais gerados pelos medicamentos se mostrou de forma bastante notória, por isso, torna-se necessário empregar de forma eficiente a educação e conscientização ambiental para que hábitos corretos sejam usados pelos moradores.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2023-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/remoa/article/view/6589210.5902/2236130865892Monografias Ambientais; REMOA 2022; e65892Revista Monografias Ambientais; REMOA 2022; e658922236-13082236-1308reponame:Revista Monografias Ambientaisinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/remoa/article/view/65892/62875Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Monografias Ambientaishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraújo, Adolf Hitler Cardoso de2024-01-12T17:13:43Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/65892Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/remoaONGhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/remoa/oai||remoa.ufsm@gmail.com2236-13082236-1308opendoar:2024-01-12T17:13:43Revista Monografias Ambientais - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
