Análise da poluição do rio Mulauze e seus efeitos no bem-estar da população do: Vale do Infulene

Abstract

This Final Course Work (TCC) project aims to carry out an in-depth analysis of the pollution of the Mulauze River and its effects on the well-being of the population living in the Infulene Valley. The research aims to identify the main pollutants present in the river, their sources and the environmental and public health impacts resulting from this contamination. To achieve these objectives, a mixed methodological approach will be adopted, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data collection will include laboratory analyses of water samples, structured interviews with local residents and environmental authorities, as well as a comprehensive literature review of previous studies related to the topic. Data analysis will allow the identification of contamination levels and their correlation with health problems reported by the population. The expected results of this study include the identification of the main pollutants present in the Mulauze River, their sources and the direct and indirect impacts on the health and well-being of the residents of the Infulene Valley. Based on these results, mitigation measures and recommendations for public policies will be proposed to improve environmental quality and the health of the local population. This project is extremely relevant because it addresses a critical environmental issue that directly affects the quality of life of a community. Water pollution is a global problem, and studies like this are essential to promote awareness and the implementation of effective actions to preserve the environment and protect public health. It is believed that the results of this research will contribute significantly to the development of sustainable environmental management strategies in the Infulene Valley.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA).
