Item Análise da qualidade da água no Rio Catu da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Pojuca - Bahia(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2011-12-13) Ribeiro, Emerson Santos; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Machado, Miriam de Fátima Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9125556472743507; Celino, Joil José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8472472348669864In Brazil, human activities such as dumping of sewage, deforestation of riparian vegetation and inappropriate use of pesticides, have caused damage to the environment and water quality of rivers, especially when these rivers cut the large urban centers. The launch of fresh domestic sewage and industrial effluents are among the activities that negatively impact these water bodies. When they are not treated it degrades the quality of river water, and this have a great impact on the activities of coastal communities. The aim of the research was to analyze and diagnose the state of pollution of the River Catu in Bahia and propose measures to improve the quality of the water. The survey consisted of a questionnaire that raised the use of the riverside communities of Rio Catu, a survey that pointed sewage spills from industrial and residential projects, through the use of GPS, and analysis of water quality in four sections of the river in two periods, in May and in October 2010. Analyses were performed in the laboratories of SENAI and Laboratory Studies in Environment - LEMA of UCSAL, as well as of the results obtained through the Water Quality Index (IQA) that are a simple way to indicate the quality of water systems. This paper proposes the implementation of the weighting of IQAS as a methodology to assess water quality. It is concluded that the release of sewage and industrial effluents cause negative impacts to water quality of Rio Catu, having an impact on the flora and fauna of the river and coastal communities that need the river for some activity.Item Análise de plantas de mangue como bioindicadoras da qualidade ambiental nas Ilhas de Tinharé e Boipeba, município de Cairu, Bahia, Brasil(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2010-06-01) Gonçalves, Manuel Vitor Portugal; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Silva, Iracema Reimão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5704701054728240; Alencar, Cristina Maria Macêdo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2257876241055037; Garcia, Karina Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5195190698719857Tinharé and Boipeba islands, located in the southern shore of Bahia, have rich coast and system and ecosystem in special areas of choral reefs e de forest of mangrove, distributed on the coast zone of both islands. These natural attributes, associated to the relevant colonial social historic patrimony, made these islands important tourist destinations, being these activity more consolidated and with a major infrastructure in Morro de São Paulo, in Tinharé. The present study has as principal objective make an analisys about the mangle plant species as bioindicator of the environmental quality in the Tinharé and Boipeba islands. Lately, the Southern Region of Bahia has been the target of interesting to many oil companies, some of them are already working on research and exploration of natural gas and oil. Besides, it is common the transit of ships carrying oil and/or its derivatives in this coast region. In the coast zone of the studied island, 10 sampling stations were chosen with diverse characteristics: 04 in the Tinharé Island and 06 in Boipeba Island. These stations are under direct influence the waves and tides, main hydrodynamic agent of the coast, being stations E5, E8, E9 and E10 (Boipeba) under the influence of the continental Waters, respectively, of Patos Channel, Catu River, Bainema River and Santo River. 60 leaves of sun were collected from the species Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa and Avicennia schaueriana and made analisys of biometric parameters and external morphology. These analyses has suggested foliar reduction and alteration in the integrity of the foliar limb, mainly chlorosis, grazing, necrosis and perforations. After dried until constant weigh, these leaves were properly prepared to the determination of heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn), whose opening has ocurred in a microwaves and the reading through spectrometry by atomic absorption with flame, conform adopted methodology. The average content of Cu were toxic to Rhizophora in E2 and to Laguncularia in stations E3 and E9. Lead has showed high level in all stations and toxic in stations E3 and E4 (for all three species), E2 and E9 (Rhizophora and Avicennia), E5 (Laguncularia and Avicennia), E7 (Avicennia) and E10 (Rhizophora). Lead has showed high values for all stations and toxic in stations E3 and E4 (for the three species), E2 and E9 (Rhizophora and Avicennia), E5 (Laguncularia and Avicennia), E7 (Avicennia) and E10 (Rhizophora). In this work, there were various sources of environmental impacts and it was not possible to infer to only one source the contamination with lead. The collected information could not be used in an identification of a principal source of contamination by lead, on the other hand it suggests diffuse sources, what may take us to jump to the conclusion to new studies and the use of more indicators for a longer period of time. It is suggested accomplishment of posterior studies that use other indicators of ambient contaminators, the example of the fauna, waters and sediments. These can complement the information presented in this study and contribute the accurate analysis of the observed sources of contamination in Tinharé Island and Boipeba Island.Item Análise do descarte de lâmpadas fluorescentes e a elaboração de propostas para o manuseio e reciclagem no Bairro de Mussurunga em Salvador, Bahia(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2016-07-25) Carvalho, Estenio Moita; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Marchi, Cristina Maria Dacach Fernandez; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7266933374095729; Silva, Aída Cristina do Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1506907414606148It is considered that the fluorescent lamps are used in various lighting systems in the world along with its low power consumption and its long durability thus generating demand for its handling and disposal, along with their toxic and potentially dangerous. The objective of this research is to analyze the disposal of fluorescent lamps in Mussurunga neighborhood of the city of Salvador, Bahia; and specific objectives has been to describe the disposal system of fluorescent lamps in the residential and commercial area; offer educational and technological alternatives for handling, disposal and recycling of fluorescent lamps waste from suppliers, collectors and consumers; promote the importance of environmentally sound disposal and recycling of fluorescent lamps by-products. To consolidate these goals uses a hybrid methodology consists of a literature review, documentary and historical nature, in tandem with field research. Interference attempted the awareness process in order to encourage the most appropriate forms for use, handling and disposal of fluorescent bulbs, both by consumers residing in the neighborhood as well as for commercially installed providers in Mussurunga district, Salvador, Bahia. Join a total community ignorance about the issue and its consequences, and therefore recommended an educational process to mitigate harmful results.Item Avaliação de ruídos em aerogeradores situados no complexo eólico Serra Azul - Ba(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2017-05-11) Gomes, Leonardo Rafael Teixeira Cotrim; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4760661Y0; Carvalho, Miriam de Fátima; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4791595D0; Melo, Jilvan Lemos de; http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4272519Y6The state of Bahia holds one of the largest wind potential in Brazil, with a multitude of wind farms installed in its territory. The quickly increase of manufacturing, implementation and operation of wind turbines was important to ensure greater participation in the national scenario of electric power generation, increasing safety and strengthening of the energy sector, promoting economic and social growth of the country. The wind power it is an alternative and sustainable source of energy, compared to traditional ones, although the production of electric energy from the force of the winds can generate undesirable environmental impacts that can happen from the production chain of the wind turbines to the ecosystems around the windfarms. Environmental impacts are diverse, however when it is restricted to the populations that living near the windfarms, some issues become more evident, such as visual impact, noise, electromagnetic interference, visual corona, strobe effect. The present study aims to evaluate the wind turbine noises in the Serra Azul-BA windfarm, from data collections performed at the site with pre-defined distances between the wind turbine and the receiver using an International Energy Agency (IEA) noise estimation method. With the collected data is possible to compare the noise with the values provided by manufacturer of the wind turbines and the main standards in the world. The results of the measurements shows that through the method of measurement of noise at source proposed by the IEA it is possible to determine satisfactorily the sound pressure level emitted by wind turbines and therefore to assist in the environmental monitoring. Can be verified differences in the noise emission between wind turbines in the park, suggesting that one of them could be deregulated, emitting noise near the upper limit specified by the manufacturer, at wind speeds below the nominal power Wind turbine. The research evaluated national and international laws and regulations on the emission and noise environmental monitoring generated by wind turbines. Nowadays the world have a great variety of concepts and each country or region have its own norms to be used to control, monitoring, measure and enforcement of laws. With the study of existing laws in the world, it was possible to propose mitigating actions, updates and creation of new standards for Brazil, since the country lacks specific norms that adequately cover the issue of noises emitted by wind turbines.Item Avaliação dos impactos socioambientais gerados pelo Programa Luz Para Todos em comunidades do Baixo Sul da Bahia(Universidade Católica de Salvador, 2019-03-27) Leal, Luciana Braga Bacelar; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Peres, Marcelo César Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1614799098745668; Silva, Iracema Reimão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5704701054728240Human activities depend on energy to improve the quality of life. So much so that the United Nations (UN) has included access to energy, in its most varied sources, as one of the Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS). Goal 7 provides for a goal by 2030 to ensure universal, reliable, sustainable, modern and affordable access to energy for all (UNDP, 2015). Brazil advances in this objective through the Program of Universalization of the Electric Assistance "Light for All" (LPT). The present study sought to evaluate the environmental impacts after the implementation of electricity distribution networks in the rural communities of the Southern Lowlands Identity Territory (LIT) served by the LPT in Bahia, aiming to guide the environmental actions during the project and the implementation of the networks power. This dissertation presents the case study, with 08 localities served by the networks and inserted in the rural area of the Southern Lowlands. The main economic activity of the communities served by the above energy networks is agriculture, predominantly small and medium sized private properties (sites and farms), with various crops and subsistence crops. There was suppression of vegetation in 37.5% of the points surveyed, in 100% of these points it was verified that the width of the easement range was within the specified measure (up to 15 meters). At the points surveyed the intervention on the vegetation affected small fragments of native vegetation scattered and diffuse along the lines of the energy lines surveyed. Regarding the construction residues generated in the works, no remains of construction materials, debris remains and other materials discarded in the easement range were found, but remains of woody material were located in 21% of the points surveyed. This study points directly to the relation between access to energy and the improvement in quality of life of most of those assisted by the LPT Program, mainly in the basic benefits such as access to home appliances, information through television and cell phones and negative environmental impacts. being minimized with environmental management actions carried out by Coelba.Item Educação ambiental no contexto de medidas migradoras e compensatória no Licenciamento Ambiental da Construção Civil no Município de Salvador -BA(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2013-03-27) Pinto, Márcia Guimarães; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Baltrusis, Nelson; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5560588032731137; Mourad, Laila Nazem; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8464508890621003El presente trabajo tiene como reto mostrar la importancia de la Educación Ambiental.También presenta aspectos e impactos medioambientales generados en la construcción de edificios y de la legislación vigente. Legislación Ambiental tiene instrumentos de control, la vigilancia e incluso de los estudios en el área de medio ambiente, sin embargo no ofrece actividades para prevenir la ocurrencia de daños ambientales. Las actividades de construcción civil, ya que estas actividades modificadores de medio ambiente, están sujetos a la licencia ambiental en la zona de influencia del proyecto. Este procedimiento tiene como fin: análisis de los impactos, las definiciones de las medidas correctivas y la preparación de un seguimiento y monitoreo de los impactos.Item Educação ambiental no contexto escolar público: desafios e possibilidades(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2016-08-02) Guimarães, Silvana de Oliveira; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Menezes, Diego Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2972752729763040; Baiardi, Amilcar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5894026951550520The problems of the increased of environmental degradation in our planet is the central theme of discussions in different sectors of the contemporary society, unleashing a series of initiatives which aimed at the minimization of such issues present in the current scenario. The general objective of this study was to understand the argument of professionals in designing a School Unit on environmental education, as well as its key challenges and possibilities having as specific points: identify the contributions of environmental education (EA) for the development of the school community; describe the pedagogical actions that characterize the conceptions of environmental education (EA) and sustainability; and to submit a proposal for the formulation of a didactic unit with an emphasis on environmental education (EA). Methodologically it consists on a combination of bibliographical research and a case study, a questionnaire was used to collect the data and it was applied to education professionals that taught in a public unit school "X". The analysis consisted of a qualitative approach on environmental education. The results obtained show that EA was not being addressed with requires the law, since there is still an isolated approach this theme by disciplines, resulting from the excessive load-time weekly education professionals that impact on lack of time for research and development of new interdisciplinary proposals, as well as the targeted culture, initial training model. In this way it is possible to consider that the continuing education can be a strategy of ressignification of concepts, new concepts and methodological approaches to interdisciplinary. However, there are still many challenges and possibilities that present themselves to the completion of the environmental education in the school context.Item Facebook e twitter: prismas ambientais(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2014-02-13) Silva, Lea Maria Botelho Almeida da; Baiardi, Amilcar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5894026951550520; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Palacios, Marcos Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0321221958931370This master dissertation is amed at characterizing the management of social media for environmental NGOs as platforms of relationship between these organizations and their public. It is conceived as a case study with multiple qualified informers, including Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, Greenpeace Brasil, Tamar Project, and the WWF Brazil. Therefore, an observational survey was made in two periods: During the United Nations Conference on sustainable development-Rio +20, taken place in 2012 -, and one year before that. Furthermore, a field research was applied to those organizations, in order to verify how the process takes place for management of the online social networks managed by them. By means of the statistical data obtained, it was possible to reveal the picture of the performance of Facebook and twitter accounts of the environmental NGOs integrating this study. Further, it made possible to evaluate the extent and influence of the organizations with their public, the interaction of the same in the digital platforms, and the social mobilization capability. The conclusion of this study is in the sense of proposing that these organizations should attempt to achieve a better performance in the management of their accounts, that is, with a greater efficiency and effectiveness, for the purpose of appropriating the entire potential made available by the environment of the social online networks. Therefore, a guide is presented with practices and conducts that should be adopted by those organizations in order that they may easily achieve their objectives and goals.Item Gerenciamento de impactos ambientais na cultura da pinha (Annona Squamosa L.) em Presidente Dutra-Ba(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2018-08-20) Galvão, Adriano Pinto; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Peres, Marcelo César Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1614799098745668; Silva, Suely Xavier de Brito; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4318335166509772The municipality of Presidente Dutra-BA is known nationally as World Capital of Sugar-apple (Annona squamosa L.), a acquired characteristic, over the years, by its favorable environmental conditions, adapted labor to production and commercialization. Until the late 1990s, rainfed production (rainwater use) was concentrated. In the last decade, irrigation has begun with increasingly advanced cultivation methods, mainly with monoculture production, triggering environmental impacts. This work has as its theme the management of environmental impacts on the sugar-apple crop (Annona squamosa L.). It was developed with the following objectives: to characterize its production; identify the impacting activities, according to the physical means, biotic and anthropic, generated by its cultivation; to use the interaction matrix derived from the Leopold matrix as an environmental impact assessment method; and to propose mitigating and / or compensatory measures for their culture. The Leopold matrix, which is used globally relating the magnitude and importance of the associated impact, was designed with the purpose of evaluating these impacts. It was divided into phases of implantation, management and harvesting/commercialization of this crop and related to physical, biotic and anthropic impacts. The research approach was of an exploratory nature, based on the application of a case study. In this study, the work routine, habits, information and behavior of the target public were taken into account, having as methodology the literature review and on-site evaluation with photographic records. Through these records, five more aggressive impacts were detected: deforestation, erosion, tubular wells, the use of pesticides and the intoxication of natural resources and the fruit consumed. The latter resulting from the lack of control in the municipality of the application of agricultural pesticides. In the Leopold matrix, 16 impacts were identified, four of which were beneficial and 12 adverse. For each impact were mitigated and proposed mitigating measures, when adverse, and potentiating, when beneficial. The results obtained were the indiscriminate use of the natural resources, not showing a tendency to concern with conservation of the environment and, on the other hand, the existence of most development potencial in the municipality, if boosting the production of sugar-apple.Item Gestão ambiental na mineração: planejamento ambiental aplicado na Pedreira Aratu, município de Salvador (BA)(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2015-09-28) Rossini, Fabiano; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Machado, Miriam de Fátima Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9125556472743507; Silva, Iracema Reimão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5704701054728240This study has the general objective to present and discuss all legal procedures that are required for mineral and environmental compliance for small / medium-sized mining companies that extract aggregates for the construction industry - specifically gravel. The research aims to make a general approach to mining in Brazil and in the state of Bahia, taking into account especially all environmental and legal context in which the mining activity is inserted. To this end it was made a case study of a company's quarry Aratu Mining and Construction Ltd. (Quarry Aratu) that extracts and sells gravel in the metropolitan area of Salvador (BA). Through this study seeks to understand how is the planning and environmental management of an aggregate mining company. Wanted answer whether the administrative procedures required by the law are effective for mitigation of the environmental impacts of mining and / or are efficient instruments for environmental management of the impacted area. This work has its contribution in that it tells the company that mineral resources are finite and non-renewable assets and that will only be available for this and future generations if used rationally and with minimal aggression possible to the environment. The working method used was given from all the theoretical background required by the legislation (mineral and environmental) for activity, complemented by studies and field data collected on-site, such as survey and assessment of environmental impacts identified in the area of quarry; Laboratory tests Water samples; and seismographic data. At the end, based on the interpretation of results, we recommend a series of procedures that are necessary for better environmental management of the project / activity as a whole, as well as suggest a readjustment and / or improvement of the actions already underway in Quarry Aratu. Among others, it is emphasized the importance of implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS), environmental emergency plan, completion of the solid waste management program, demarcation of new areas of sterile / send-off, resizing the stands, cloistered crushing equipment, full drilling with water, improvement of training and technical training of workers.Item Gestão de óleos lubrificantes usados ou contaminados - OLUC: regulamentação e medidas de gerenciamento sustentável(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2019-03-29) Amarante, Ingrid Carin de Souza; Silva, Aída Cristina do Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1506907414606148; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Porciuncula, Débora Carol Luz da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1801383100333154; Prado, Alessandra Rapacci Mascarenhas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2158993363327030Due to the increase in volume produced from Used or Contaminated Lubricating Oils - OLUC there is a growing concern with this hazardous waste and the probable changes resulting from its disposal in the environment. The objective of this article is to describe technical and normative aspects about the management of OLUC, contemplating national and international regulations, with a view to consolidating educational measures that promote knowledge about their social and environmental impacts. The method used in the research contemplates a systematized bibliographical review of this industrial waste. The collected data were extracted between the years 2003 to 2018, from scientific databases with the identification of resolutions, laws, technical norms and technical-scientific documents. Thus, the results point to the literature on the topic, the adoption of treatment technologies for OLUC waste by generators and the importance of the integrated management and monitoring of these wastes in order to minimize impacts on the environment and in health. It is considered important that information on the damages resulting from the inadequate management of OLUC be given through Environmental Education, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Objectives of the Agenda 2030, in all social spaces, as this is a strong ally in the dissemination and awareness of the population as to the harmful impacts that the product may have on the nature and health of ecosystems in this and future generations.Item Impactos ambientais na biota na construção de Usinas Hidreletricas - UHE: o caso do Rio São FRancisco(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2014-04-29) Santos, Pollianna Ferro; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Guimarães, Junia Kacenelenbogen; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8465194661831345; Moraes, Simone Souza de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1432443985052480The last few decades have been marked by growing concern about the effect of human activities on environmental sustainability, whose directional focus is ecological degradation and loss of ecological biodiversity. Because of these environmental problems, many scholars focused their research on the restoration and conservation of river ecosystems. For this, it’s necessary to understand the fluvial dynamics of the river and its ecological processes. This paper aims to draw up a proposal for a plan of management of environmental impacts in the construction of Hydropower Plants - HPP, building on the lower course of the São Francisco River. Were performed surveys of social-environmental characteristics, past and present; Had been collected five samples at four different points of rainfall data, fluviometric data and water quality of the lower São Francisco River in the Propriá City (SE), being the data flow and rainfall were analyzed and compared with two distinct points along the São Francisco River, upper and middle course; and confectioned an array of representative impacts, in which we selected some principal impacts considered for demonstration of the study. After the analysis of the samples revealed that there are changes mainly between flow maximum and minimum from the year 1987, but this change has occurred along the entire length of the river. Therefore, from these changes in fluvial regime, the quotas of the lower São Francisco region stayed disproportionate to the amount of rainfall, so then in dry seasons have become high quotas. Regarding water quality, it was found that among the points collected and collect period had data at odds with the pattern of CONAMA Resolution 357/2005, especially the pond Pindoba, however, these data collected in field visits aren´t conclusive, only an indication of the problem. So, related impacts in this research, as well as the correlation matrix of impacts, are just a demonstration of situations that occur in the present and need of attention. The studies weren´t conclusive, but it is an important warning to society and authorities, mainly to the population of the region low São Francisco. Thus it becomes necessary to adopt environmental management, which is a complex tool that requires a change of corporate performance, the population and the government. Facing this situation, presented an organization chart, which tries to harmonize interests and define a strategy for eco-development, achieving an equilibrium of sustainable ethical principle, showing that environmental stewardship starts before the pre-planning phase, from the study feasibility environmental, being conceived as an interactive step whose data feeds back the planning stages, this being an continuous process decisions for reliable management.Item Interferência do uso e ocupação do solo urbano na qualidade ambiental do Rio Sapato, Lauro de Freitas, Bahia(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2020-03-31) Silva, Verônica Gonçalves da Conceição; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Perez, Marcelo Cézar Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Santos, Miguel Cerqueira dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/Item Oficina de reciclagem de papel como instrumento para despertar a consciência ambiental em alunos de uma escola estadual de Arembepe, Camaçari, Bahia(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2019-12-20) Sousa, Cleudes Pereira de; Tinôco, Moacir Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Benati, Kátia Regina; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Araújo, Helisângela Acris Borges; http://lattes.cnpq.br/The present work is part of the discussions about the selective collection in the school environment, aiming at the recycling of the used paper, in Substrate for seed germination and consequent preservation of the environment. Its justification is justified by the need to raise awareness among students and the local community regarding the reuse of waste produced in the school. The general objective was to use the discarded paper in the institution to make students aware of the solid waste issue, thus generating a critical and protective posture in defense of the planet. The project was applied in classes of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of high school and EJA (Youth and Adult Education), through various activities such as questionnaires, recycling of paper with addition of seeds in the final phase, seeking a change of behavior in relation to the destination of all paper used, using this theme as pedagogical strategy to insert the Environmental Consciousness as an educational praxis, seeking greater integration with the environment, through responsible actions and committed to the well-being of the planet. The research developed is of the bibliographic type, of a qualitative nature, developed through a bibliographical survey of works that deal with the technology of transformation of office paper in soil for seed germination. The research took place between February 2017 and February 2019 and was organized through the Thematic Content Analysis Technique. During this period several readings on the subject were made, which made possible an intense reflection on our attitude towards the universe. It is concluded that from this work carried out at the Nadir Copque school, transforming the office paper into soil for seed germination, will bring to the community a full awareness of the amount of solid waste that is produced in the surroundings, as well as the urgent need to give them a more rational and ecologically adequate destination.Item Percepção ambiental da comunidade do distrito de Nagé, no município de Maragogipe, Bahia, sobre o Rio Paraguaçu(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2014-12-02) Franca, Carlos Alberto de Moraes; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Portella, André Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1782631349656661; Celino, Joil José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8472472348669864The high reduction of fishing and near disappearance of aquatic and avian species the river Paraguaçu only source of livelihood of the fishing community of Nage, Maragogipe district Bahia made this study sought to know what the perception of the local population and what degree was this ecological impact which people refer to as disappearance of fish. In order to evaluate the environmental perception on aspects of aquatic and bird population, we attempted to use a survey where respondents were 50 residents, whose methodology is given means of a questionnaire with 76 questions about the species, aquatic fish, molluscs and crustaceans and still the most common bird species that lived there. The answers were converted into numbers from I to V, yes or no. The research population was chosen randomly, with one requirement: they were over 35 years old and residing in the Nage over 25 years. The answer to the research attests to the decrease or disappearance of the surveyed species. Another point studied was the protective legal perception, the scope of Constitutional Shares, Popular and Civil Public, which was unanimously negative. The result brought by research denotes a considerable environmental damage, such as the loss and reduction in scale of the surveyed species. This damage brought to light the community a stronger awareness of the importance of maintaining and monitoring the study area preserved in a symbiosis with all local people, alerting them to the need for action to protect your means of survival priority, and may find support, both at the administrative level, in the case of the duty of public administration, as cool, in the case of obligation of the prosecution and protective of the environment Entities, when confronted with disrespect environmental laws.Item Políticas empresariais privadas de responsabilidade socioambiental: estudo de casos(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2010-06-13) Trindade, Josefa Delma da; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Baltrusis, Nelson; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5560588032731137; Ferreira, Emerson de Andrade Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5831000823189354This research consists on the study of private enterprise policies of Socioenvironmental responsibility, by means of environmental preservation and conservation practices and actions, by indicating their environmental, social and marketing benefits in consequence. The objects of study presented are some ecology projects, works of environment preservation and conservation as developed by enterprises of large and medium size. Morais de Castro Comércio e Importação de Produtos Químicos Ltda. was taken as an empiric object, which is a medium size commercial enterprise that has developed a management of systematic and planned actions of environmental conservations, in the area of Salvador, State of Bahia. As for the study objects developed by large size enterprises handling some ecologic works and of prevention against environment pollution, we presented: Deten Química S.A and Instituto Corredor Ecológico Costa dos Coqueiros – INCECC, composed by a Board of Administration with five associated members (Comitê de Fomento Industrial de Camaçari COFIC, Central de Tratamento de Efluentes Líquidos CETREL, Fazenda Praia do Forte and Sauípe S.A.), units located at the Polo Petroquímico of Camaçari/BA. The works are differently approached, however in the same purpose, which is to benefit the biodiversity of the planet, and improving the results of the executive enterprises. In this research we show the important aspects in the way environment has appeared in the speeches and organizational practices of some Brazilian enterprises.Item Políticas Públicas Voltadas a Produção do Biodiesel na Região do Baixo Sul do Estado da Bahia(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2009-11-30) Senhorinho, Marcelo Almeida; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Baltrusis, Nelson; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5560588032731137; Silva, Iracema Reimão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5704701054728240The present study discusses several interactions among the “Baixo Sul” of the State of Bahia, its population, its Atlantic Forest remnants and the probable impacts resulting from the expansion of the areas of palm oil plantations, for biodiesel production. This expansion is stimulated by Government Programs and Projects that aim at the alteration of the energetic matrix in use, based on fuels fossils by a cleaner one based on renewable fuel, especially, coming from agriculture. Brazil was always recognized by his natural agricultural vocation, which puts it in a strategically important position in this new world order. The advantages presented by the biofuels are undeniable, even in an environment more affected by climate change and a society more preoccupied with global warming and its consequences each day. It is not known when, but fatally the world oil reserves one day will be exhausted one day and substitutes will have to be found. Among the existing options, the Biofuels appear like one of the viable options. But the impacts produced by an indiscriminate expansion of the areas of cultivation and the effects on the native forests, other existing cultures, the populations and its way of life are little discussed. Finally, the study tries to demonstrate that the public incentive policies for the production of biodiesel are a positive factor of regional development, even more in a needing country like ours, but that right options must be adopted looking for models that reconcile economic development with environmental conservation.Item Proteção e limpeza de ambientes costeiros da Ilha de Boipeba contaminados por petróleo: o uso alternativo da fibra de coco como barreiras e sorventes naturais(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2010-08-17) Cerqueira, Paulo Roberto de Oliveira; Silva, Iracema Reimão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5704701054728240; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Ferreira, Doneivan Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6086255513254644There are many centuries the man uses the oil to supply some necessities, mainly of energy generation. Since old applications in natura until the most complex current fractions, the hazards involved in their handling and use have increased considerably, requiring increasingly care about the risks of accidents with leakage of these products, which usually imply serious environmental damage. Recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, sinking of Horizon Deepwater platform on April 22, 2010, disclosed that, no matter how hard if has invested in prevention and preparedness for response, still it has risks of great ambient damages, with catastrophic and irreversible impacts. This work has as main objective describe the techniques, equipment and materials used for call to oil spillings in the coast, having as starting point the experience of companies specialized in the activity of containment and collect of spilled oil and publications of institutions that work with exploration, production, refining and transport of oil, beyond manufacturers of materials and equipment destined to the containment, collect and absorption of oil. The place of study chosen was the island of Boipeba, that is situated in the stretch of the south coast of Bahia, region known as Costa do Dendê. This site presents high environmental sensitivity to oil spill, by owning many mangroves and coral reefs and beaches of great scenic beauty, what makes it very attractive for tourism, currently its main source of income. Being an isolated area and therefore lacked many resources, the research searched to identify local alternatives to take care of possible contamination of its coastline by oil, with the use of solid wastes that today cause visual pollution, beyond allowing the proliferation of zoonoses. In this condition, the fiber extracted from coconut shell was the option that best met the requirements of technical and economic feasibility, although its use on a commercial scale in the oil industry is still in the embryonic stage. As proposed, the work suggests the promotion of cooperatives among local residents to explore the beneficiation of coconut shell, whose products obtained may be used in the production of oil-absorbing material or for treatment of soil contaminated by it, and have proven applications in agriculture and handicrafts, mainly in the industries of the construction, automotive and furniture. In the end, it is recommended that are in-depth studies for development of materials for absorption and bioremediation from fibre obtained from the bark of coconut and checked the feasibility of deployment of power plants for this purpose, through businesses with activities related to the oil industry and operating in the vicinity of the area studied.Item Protistas heterotróficos como ferramenta para avaliação da qualidade da água em reservatórios urbanos da Mata Atlântica(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2018-01-17) Costa, Paulo Tadeu Silva; Peres, Marcelo César Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1614799098745668; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Silva, Márcio Borba da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6566974818526539The objective of this work was to carry out studies to select biological indicators of water quality from populations of heterotrophic protists (flagellates, ameboids and ciliates), having as final product a protocol model to be followed technically by surface water quality assessors and academics in scientific studies. The study area that served as reference for the construction of the protocol was the urban reservoir (Lagoa de Pituaçu), in Salvador (BA), located inside a fragment of Mata Atlântica. The construction of the protocol consisted of consulting data published in the study area and drawing up a list of taxa identified with their main morphological and bioindication characteristics. The protocol was organized with a scoring table, involving the heterotrophic protists, the most sensitive, those with infrequent frequencies in the samples, the most tolerant ones with the highest frequency. The table presented taxa like Blepharisma, Chilodonela, Halteria and Oxytricha (Ciliophora) with a maximum score equal to 5 and classified as sensitive, while some taxa like Aspidisca, Tetrahynema (Ciliophora), Bodo (Euglenozoa), Centropyxis (Amebozoa) and Actinosphaerium (Heliozoa), with a minimum score of 1 and defined as tolerant. Several taxa between 1 and 5 points were listed, among them: Vorticella (Ciliophora), Arcella (Amebozoa) and Peranema (Euglenozoa). At the end, a water quality assessment index of the organisms identified in the Pituaçu lagoon was presented. The research expanded knowledge about the various taxa present in lakes and reservoirs in tropical areas, especially in the Mata Atlântica biome.Item Qualidade da água em sub-bacia hidrográfica urbana: o caso do Rio Camaçari/Ba(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2013-12-09) Sommer, Renata Segovia; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Baiardi, Amilcar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5894026951550520; Celino, Joil José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8472472348669864Water resources are essential to all life forms. Our country is fortunate to have a large amount of fresh water equivalent to 12 % of the world available for consumption. Despite being a key resource for the survival of living beings, has been used incorrectly, resulting in the pollution and contamination of water sources that affect water availability in certain regions. The present study aims at assessing the water quality of the river Sub -basin Camaçari, through physical, chemical and biological, and suggest possible mitigation measures that result in improved water quality. There were two water collects in seven sampling points, which are located from the river's source to its mouth Northeastern Complex where the encounter with the Joanes river, and the first collection took place in june 2012 and the second in may 2013. Moreover, the points were photographed, marked with GPS and features of the surroundings were recorded in a protocol field observation. After the analysis of the samples was realized that the region of the headwaters of the river Camaçari, is located where the Point 1 is well maintained however the parameters Total Solids, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen and pH are at odds with the maximum allowed by CONAMA Resolution 357/2005. In other points, it was observed that the level of pollution and contamination of water increases as the river enters the city Camaçari. Microbiological analysis indicated the absence of coliforms in only Point 1. Given this reality can be concluded that the process of industrialization and the lack of urban planning, combined with significant population growth were the main agents cluttered responsible for the environmental degradation of the river. Thus, it becomes necessary to adopt mitigation measures to assist in the recovery of this area, aimed at social welfare and environmental, among them we can mention the recovery of riparian vegetation in specific regions, slope retention preventing new outbreaks of erosion and siltation and implementation of a program of sanitation throughout the area this sub-basin, thereby reducing contamination with pathogenic organisms.
