Proposta de Mobilização na Escola para Atenção à Preservação ao Meio Ambiente e à Saúde

Abstract

The school environment is considered an extremely privileged space for the development of environmental and health education and prevention. This study aimed to mobilize a proposal at the Brigadeiro Camarão School as a strategy to raise awareness of the care that everyone should take to the environment and to reduce the incidence of arboviruses. This research took place through the development of lectures on various diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti, solid waste, environment, and environmental education. In addition, a literature search was performed. Research has shown that arboviruses are a serious public health problem and have difficulty in their environmental control in society, and that prevention requires greater community participation in measures to combat transmitting mosquitoes. Through work such as this, it is possible to prevent diseases linked by vectors and consequently contribute to improving the quality of life of the individual and the environment. It is suggested that the school invest in continuing education with regard to addressing the issue of environmental education.
