    The Disposal of Needles and Syringes During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Iranduba Health System
    (Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2022) AZEVEDO FILHO, Walter da Cunha Coautor: SOUTO, Paola Campos; LEITE, Jandecy Cabral
    This paper aimed to develop evidence-based guidelines to make the disposal of syringes and needles used in COVID-19 vaccinations safer and healthier in the Basic Health Units (UBS) of the Iranduba Health System. The research was based on an observational analysis of how healthcare waste was discarded in 2021. Additionally, a literature review was conducted. The findings indicated that disposal practices were inadequate, with syringes and needles being discarded in the same collection box along with other hospital waste, some of which could be recycled. This improper disposal posed significant risks of infection to healthcare workers. As a solution, the study proposes strategies for proper waste disposal to protect workers' health and ensure environmental sustainability.

    As formas de descarte de agulhas e seringas em época de pandemia da COVID-19 no sistema de saúde de Iranduba
    (Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, 2024-10) AZEVEDO, Walter da Cunha; CAMPOS, Paola Souto
    This study analyzes the disposal process of needles and syringes used during COVID-19 vaccination in the municipality of Iranduba, Amazonas. The research investigates whether these waste disposal practices comply with Brazilian laws and regulations, such as the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12,305/2010) and CONAMA Resolution No. 358/2005. The study also assesses the adequacy of disposal practices in Basic Health Units (UBS) and proposes strategies to improve waste management, especially in rural areas, to protect public health and the environment.
