RESUMO:

One of the biggest causes of environmental impacts in Brazil is the improper destination of solid waste in controlled landfills and dumps (open-air dumps). If, on the one hand, the increase in the generation of waste is constituted and adds a series of problems, on the other, it becomes an alternative source of income due to the lack of job options, allowing the survival of many people, who live from the collection recyclable solid waste. Recyclable material collectors play an important role for the environment and society, as well as for the economy, but are exposed to risks of contamination by toxic elements and pathogenic organisms that may be present in these materials and that may cause negative effects on human health. and the environment. Thus, in view of the large number of waste pickers at the Santarém landfill, this work has the general objective of analyzing the living, working and health conditions of recyclable material collectors at the Perema landfill; in addition to checking the occurrence of intestinal parasites in the research participants. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 40 volunteers (10 direct collectors, 10 indirect collectors, 10 non-collectors around and 10 non-urban collectors), through a script of questions previously formulated with open and closed questions. In addition, 80 stool samples (two samples per participant) were obtained, collected on non-consecutive days for the Stool Parasitological Examination. The results show that the majority of waste pickers have an income lower than the minimum wage (direct waste pickers n = 8, 80%; indirect waste pickers n = 6, 60%), these workers started to work when they were under 14 years old (direct waste pickers) n = 7, 70%; indirect scavengers n = 6, 60%). The effort made at work causes muscle pain (direct scavengers n = 9, 90%, indirect scavengers n = 7%). Indirect scavengers form the group that showed the highest prevalence of parasites among the sampled groups, and out of ten participants, 80% showed a positive result for the parasitological examination of feces in both samples. Of the samples obtained (n = 80), 35% had monoparasitism (n = 28) and 26.25% polyparasitism (n = 21). The most common non-pathogenic species in this study were Endolimax nana and Entamoeba coli in all studied groups, with E. nana being more frequent in direct scavengers (n = 11) and indirect scavengers (n = 10). It can be concluded that the living, working and health conditions of the recyclable material collectors operating in the Perema landfill are permeated by various forms of precariousness, according to the results obtained. It is considered that the proposed objectives have been achieved and based on the results obtained, structural improvements in the landfill are recommended; sensitization by the population to dispose of sharp and piercing materials with household waste; as well as training on good practices at work and use of PPE.
