Cemitérios como fonte potencialmente poluidoras

Abstract

This work focuses on the relationship between cemeteries and the environment, due to growing concern about the impacts of cemeteries, however, this matter is still little explored. Thus, cemeteries are as deposits from human cadavers requiring a proper disposal because degradation thereof can be many sources of contamination. The necrochorume is the main contamination of waste coming from decomposing bodies, which to penetrate the water table can cause pollution in water networks Through a bibliographical revision aimed to collect data on the environmental impacts caused by the construction of cemeteries and evaluate interrelationships of this subject to the risks to people and the environment. It is extremely important to monitor the impacts caused by projects of this nature, to be avoided possible contamination. Thus, it is concluded that the cemeteries, in general, are areas that need structural adjustments to be compliance with environmental laws regulated by the authorities in recent years, thus ensuring the conservation of groundwater, soil stability and water potability of our planet.
