Abstract

The World Health Organization recommends home care for patients with Covid-19 who have mild symptoms. In home confinement, the infected continue their routine of consumption and generation of waste. Public services must be adjusted to deal with the collection and management of contaminated waste and thus reduce likely additional impacts. In order to verify whether Brazilian municipalities are aware of the recommendations for the protection of urban solid waste collectors, this study analyzed the capacity of municipalities to adapt to the set of official recommendations for the management of contaminated household solid waste by Covid 19. Using a hypothetical-deductive method of bibliographic, documentary and exploratory character, theoretical aspects related to the management of solid waste are initially addressed; second, documentary research in the SNIS 2018, ANVISA, CONAMA, ABES and ABRELPE databases. It was found that Covid-19 exposed the pre-existing problems and deficiencies in public cleaning and MSW management in Brazil. It was clear that the management of MSW in small Brazilian municipalities is similar, as well as the indicators of MSW management reveal problems when compared to the PNRS of Brazil. Such disorder is aggravated by the lack of planning for the integrated management of urban solid waste.

家庭固体废物:评估Covid-19对巴西公共管理预防措施的影响

世界卫生组织建议对症状轻微的Covid-19患者进行家庭护理。在家中，受感染的人继续他们的日常消费和产生废物。必须调整公共服务，以处理受污染废物的收集和管理，从而减少可能产生的额外影响。为了验证巴西市政当局是否了解保护城市固体废物收集者的建议，本研究分析了市政当局适应2019冠状病毒病污染家庭固体废物管理官方建议的能力。采用书目、文献和探索性质的假设-演绎方法，初步处理与固体废物管理有关的理论问题;其次，在SNIS 2018、ANVISA、CONAMA、abe和ABRELPE数据库中进行文献研究。新冠肺炎疫情暴露了巴西在公共清洁和城市生活垃圾管理方面存在的问题和不足。很明显，巴西小城市的都市固体废物管理情况类似，而且都市固体废物管理的指标与巴西的城市固体废物管理指标相比也显示出问题。由于缺乏对城市固体废物综合管理的规划，这种混乱加剧了。
