Análise dos aspectos ambientais dos resíduos sólidos na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande – UFCG campus de Campina Grande.

Abstract

The practice of an effective environmental management system became required in all institutions, whether public or private. Having several factors (legal, cultural, economic, social, and several others) that require them to develop an environmental management within the established standards. And to meet these requirements, different support mechanisms were created. One was the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which normalizes many themes common to society and organizations. But specifically in the environmental area, the number of ISO 14000 was created What is the purpose of standardizing actions aimed at a new concept of environmental protection. With the development of management in public administration institutions there was also the need to develop correct environmental practices, which culminate in an efficient environmental management system. In UFCG is no different, but specifically with respect to the issue of solid waste will be worked in this study the ISO 14001 and ISO 14004. standards Thus, the objective was to make a diagnosis on the management of solid waste at the Federal University of Campina Grande - UFCG, analyzing the aspects and associated environmental impacts, according to the number of ISO 14000: 2004. With regard to the search methodology is characterized as descriptive and exploratory, the method used was the inductive. The design and research strategy were documented, and a case study in the target of the research institution. To analyze the current diagnosis used the evaluation of operational and organizational aspects which addressed several variables: generating Source, interim storage, final destination, waste management liability, environmental education programs and legal aspects. Measurement of the degree and significance of the environmental impacts of waste was made through the application of three methods: FMEA Methodology (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - Modes of Failure and Effects Analysis), Environmental Management Assessment Methodology applied for ISO 14000 and adaptation Leopold Matrix. The choice of combining three methodologies justified by the fact that they are tools commonly used in the evaluation of the environmental management process, and when used together, show more clearly and fully the conclusion of the results. The population studied consisted of the fixed and floating population of the institution. The sample was non-probabilistic intentional or stratified trial, we sought to interview leaders representative of the study population of strategic sectors related to the environmental area. After delineating the current organizational diagnosis and evaluation of seventeen observed impacts, it is concluded that there is no institution in a policy or program management of solid waste, or adequate infrastructure for such management.
