Análise do saneamento básico nos 4 municípios baianos mais populosos

Abstract

Sanitation is the control of all factors of man’s physical environment, which exert or can exert harmful effects on physical, mental and social well-being. In Brazil, the deficit of environmental sanitation has been a serious concern, considering the importance of its role in the relationship it establishes with health and the environment. The disorderly growth of cities, coupled with lack of or inadequate sanitation system, has resulted in an aggravation of the epidemiological picture and causing serious damage to the environment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the classification of the four Bahia municipalities indicated in the Ranking of Brazilian Sanitation in the years 2016 to 2018. The great highlight was for the municipality of Vitoria da Conquista that improved its position over the years leaving the 21st place of the Ranking from 2016 to 4 th place in 2018. The city of Salvador rose in the position that was previously 36º and is now in position 41, Feira de Santana there was an improvement that left position 54 and is now in 42º place and Camaçari currently occupies the position, not participating in the other surveys.
