Devastação Ambiental e Riscos à Saúde: O doloroso Legado do Garimpo de Ouro a Agricultores Familiares da Amazônia Mato-Grossense

Abstract: A reemergência dos garimpos artesanais de ouro na Amazônia brasileira tem gerado uma série de inquietações. Afinal, quem arca com os custos da devastação ambiental e dos riscos à saúde gerados pela atividade? Este estudo objetivou analisar o custo socioambiental de um antigo garimpo de ouro a agricultores familiares da área da Pista do Cabeça, município de Alta Floresta – MT. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, cuja análise se baseia em percepções e memórias de 15 agricultores familiares, coletad… Show more

“…Mining activities are known for having a high production of waste and sediments that are discarded in inappropriate areas, causing various impacts on the environment. Rosa and Weihs (2021) highlight in their study that the methods used in these activities affect the quality of water for consumption and that the factors linked to this problem are the sediments produced in high quantities, such as fine sand, which end up being transported to bodies of water, leading to poor water quality and silting of rivers. Mining in Yanomami indigenous territory may be the biggest contributor to the increase in sediments in the riverbed, according to the work of Queiroz et al (2022), small-scale mining is directly related to the increase in the concentration of suspended solids in the water, in addition to the increase in the concentration of chemicals such as mercury and nickel.…”

“…alumínio, zinco, níquel, cromo, titânio, fosfato, prata, platina, paládio e o ouro. Tais minerais são de alto valor e se constituem como matéria-prima na fabricação de centenas de produtos que são utilizados de forma direta ou indireta em todo o mundo(LAUTHARTTE et al, 2018;NASCIMENTO et al, 2019;PAMPLONA;BITTENCOURT, 2021;WEIHS, 2021;SIQUEIRA;APRILE, 2012). Diante disso, emerge a necessidade de se unir esforços em prol da preservação e conservação da região amazônica brasileira, por meio de legislações mais rígidas, programas de controle e fiscalização constante e uma forte Educação Ambiental em todos os níveis de ensino, conforme discutido a seguir.…”
