ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSITION ON LANDFILL IN BUFFER ZONE OF PROTECTED AREAS OF ASSIS MUNICIPALITY – SP

Abstract

The analysis of the environmental aspects of solid residue disposal in the landfill in buffer zone at the conservation units State Forest and Assis Ecological Station allows estimating negative environmental impacts, which may affect biodiversity and natural resources of these units. The purpose through this work was to alert, by environmental report, the municipal manager and others environmental agencies of Assis upon the situation of this area, promote the ending of the landfill and the correct disposal of solid waste generated in Assis municipality. The research is based on the actual relevant legislation and methods described in the literature about grounding waste and environmental impacts. Field visits were made to analyze the scenery. Environmental aspects analyzed, showed correspondence with negative environmental impacts, which exhibit potential to cause to the environment: loss of quality and contamination of the soil, deterioration of groundwater quality, deterioration of air quality, net loss of habitat and change aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem, and to the anthropic environment: visual impact on human health and socio-environmental. It is necessary to adopt mitigation instructions, such as decontamination of those areas after the shutdown of the landfill, in favor to reinstate the quality of this landscape and minimize risks to public health.
