Resumo: | The mining activity produces several impacts to the environment. Air pollution, mainly caused by dust resulting from its processes, is one of the factors that mostly generate occupational respiratory diseases among dust exposed workers. In Brazil, important areas are not covered by environmental monitoring concerning air quality, being such information in possession of the private initiative. This is the case in the Industrial District of São Luís (DISAL), in Maranhão State. In 2018, an article was published containing information relative to a monitoring activity, obtained through an Automatic Air Quality Monitoring Network, belonging to a private company located in the DISAL. Its result exceeded the limits established by the current environmental legislation. In the light of this information, our main object became to assess quantitatively the Respirable Dust Occupational emission in that area, adopting a comparative methodology, this time in compliance with the Brazilian Labor Legislation standards, since there are many people working in that area who are exposed to such conditions in an iron ore storage yard of a large mining company. The aim was, subsequently, to establish possible relations between both of them, since the occupational assessment result has classified that area as suitable for work despite the fact that the environmental result has exceeded the tolerance limits considered as references. We conclude, therefore, that the environmental legislation was more restrictive than the labor legislation. In according, it’s correct to affirm for this research that, regarding the atmospheric pollution, for an area to be classified as SALUBRE occupationally, it does not depend on the environmental result of this same area. |

La contaminación del aire, causada principalmente por el polvo resultante de sus procesos, es uno de los factores que mayormente generan enfermedades respiratorias ocupacionales entre los trabajadores expuestos al polvo. En Brasil, las áreas importantes no están cubiertas por el monitoreo ambiental relacionado con la calidad del aire, ya que dicha información está en posesión de la iniciativa privada. Es el caso del Distrito Industrial de São Luís (DISAL), en el estado de Maranhão. En 2018, se publicó un artículo que contenía información relativa a una actividad de monitoreo, obtenida a través de una Red Automática de Monitoreo de la Calidad del Aire, perteneciente a una empresa privada ubicada en DISAL. Su resultado excedió los límites establecidos por la legislación ambiental vigente. A la luz de esta información, nuestro principal objetivo fue evaluar cuantitativamente la emisión ocupacional de polvo respirable en esa área, adoptando una metodología comparativa, esta vez en cumplimiento con los estándares de la legislación laboral brasileña, ya que hay muchas personas que trabajan en esa área expuesto a tales condiciones en un patio de almacenamiento de mineral de hierro de una gran empresa minera, ya posteriormente, establecer posibles relaciones entre ambos, ya que el resultado de la evaluación ocupacional ha clasificado esa área como adecuada para el trabajo, aunque el resultado ambiental ha excedido los límites de tolerancia considerados como referencias. Concluimos, por lo tanto, que la legislación ambiental era más restrictiva que la legislación laboral. De acuerdo con esto, es correcto afirmar para esta investigación que, con respecto a la contaminación atmosférica, para que un área sea clasificada como SALUBRE ocupacionalmente, no depende del resultado ambiental de esta misma área.A mineração provoca inúmeros impactos ao meio ambiente, e a poluição do ar causada principalmente pela poeira resultante de seus processos é um dos fatores que mais causam doenças respiratórias ocupacionais entre os trabalhadores expostos. No Brasil, áreas importantes não são cobertas pelo monitoramento ambiental da qualidade do ar, estando com a iniciativa privada estas informações. Este é o caso do Estado do Maranhão, acerca do Distrito Industrial de São Luís – DISAL. Em 2018 foi publicado um artigo com dados de um monitoramento obtido por meio de uma Rede Automática de Monitoramento da Qualidade de Ar, de uma empresa privada instalada no DISAL, cujo resultado ultrapassava os limites impostos pela legislação ambiental vigente, diante destas informações, tornou-se nosso objeto principal, avaliar quantitativamente a emissão de Poeira Respirável Ocupacional nesta mesma área, adotando uma metodologia comparativa, observando os padrões da legislação trabalhista brasileira, pois ali, trabalham muitas pessoas expostas a estas condições, em um pátio de estocagem de minério de ferro de uma grande mineradora, para posteriormente estabelecer possíveis relações entre ambas, pois, apesar do resultado ambiental ter ultrapassado os limites de tolerância referenciados, o resultado da avaliação ocupacional, classificou está mesma área como apta ao trabalho. Concluimos então, que a legislação ambiental foi mais restritiva que a trabalhista e considerando apenas este estudo, podemos afirmar que no tocante a poluição atmosférica, para uma área ser classificada como SALUBRE ocupacionalmente, independe do resultado ambiental desta mesma área.Research, Society and Development2020-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/187310.33448/rsd-v9i1.1873Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 2; e05921873Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 2; e05921873Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 2; e059218732525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1873/1631Copyright (c) 2020 Luiz Faria, Cláudio Blancoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFaria, Luiz Paulo CostaBlanco, Cláudio José Cavalcante2020-08-20T18:08:48Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1873Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:26:45.078690Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
