The objective of this study was to estimate and to analyze the extent of the socioenvironmental adverse impacts during the moratorium period provided in the Minamata Convention for two mercury emission sources: the industrial sectors of chlor-alkalis and of fluorescent lamps. The application of the conceptual integrated model DPSIR, of the case study and calculations utilizing available sectorial data has found an estimated total emission of 18.6 thousand tons of mercury, which will impact several environmental compartments and life in them. The moratorium period granted by the Minamata Convention is not justified because alternative technologies already exist that replace both electrolytic cells and bulbs without producing mercury pollution.

RESUMO O presente trabalho visa a discutir as potencialidades do uso de narrativas e diários de campo para e na formação em saúde, no módulo de Encontros e Produção de Narrativas, do Eixo Trabalho em Saúde, que compõe o itinerário curricular dos Cursos de Saúde do Instituto Saúde e Sociedade do Campus Baixada Santista, da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Utilizou-se a análise de discurso como instrumento de análise de diários de campo e narrativas produzidos em 2017 e 2019. No conjunto dos enunciados, é possível apreender mudanças graduais, promovidas pelos encontros narrativos articulados com conteúdos de saúde socioambiental introduzidos no módulo. O discurso nos diários e na narrativa é permeado de brechas polissêmicas, trazendo novos significados do aprendizado. Assim, apreendem-se movimentos de deslocamento do lugar comum, da reprodução do que está posto hegemonicamente, assumindo perspectivas comprometidas com a garantia de direitos, incluindo o direito à saúde, articulando a concepção ampliada do processo saúde-doença e sua relação com a questão socioambiental.
The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) in Brazil is not a simple waste disposal policy (garbage), but a complex legal apparatus that encompasses strategic principles with a view to Sustainable Development. Therefore, the disposal of waste must meet the three important and inseparable pillars, the environmental, the social and the economic, strictly observing the Precautionary Principle, which requires an analysis that aggregates the expanded view of the most varied sectors of knowledge, without which the objectives of this policy (PNRS) will not be achieved. In this sense, the present study, which uses bibliographic and documentary sources for the analytical basis and the authors' experience in the areas of social and environmental law and in the inspection and operation of incinerators, critically seeks to present the incurable bottlenecks of the incineration of urban solid waste with or without energy recovery (wasteto-energy), considering the current state of technology and knowledge, and pointing out sustainable paths for its destination and treatment.
