“…In Brazil, Vasconcellos [ 58 ] noticed that the occurrence of dental caries among 7-to-12-year-old schoolchildren who were born and always resident in the city was more frequent than expected for a community in which public water supply was fluoridated for 16 years, demonstrating that discontinuity of fluoride concentration at optimal levels had occurred in the early 1970’s. During the military dictatorship, political and civil rights were suppressed; books were censored and the funds for research dwindled.…”

Untreated dental caries is the most common disease globally and fluoride use at the population level is crucial for its control. To investigate the economic and political conditions under which the trajectory of population-based fluoride use has occurred is key for a more comprehensive view on its current and future challenges. The objective was to give a brief history and summarize the information on the use of fluorides at the population level in Brazil from 1952 to 2017 and to point to current and future challenges. A critical overview was undertaken based on country-level analyses comprising political and economic conditions. The analytical approach adopted a set of premises applicable to the study of capitalist democracies. Fluoride methods of systemic and topic use began to be employed in Brazilian public health programs in the 1950s and in a combined way from 1974. Differences in political and economic contexts were highlighted for four periods: the first interventions from 1952 to 1974, when the fluoridated water law was approved; the expansion after 1974 until 1988, when a new constitution was enacted; the following time until 2010; and the final period. From the 1980s to 2008, water fluoridation coverage increased progressively, consolidating as a major strategy of systemic use in spite of inequalities among territories. Activities aimed to promote access to topical fluoride use increased and maintained stability until 2014, when they dropped sharply. Regulation of fluoride dentifrice’s quality remained insufficient. It was hypothesized that the strengthening of conservative liberalism and the increase in fiscal austerity observed in recent years might produce serious constraints on public investment and limit access to fluorides. To reduce inequities and promote benefits for all, including the most vulnerable groups, policies based on egalitarian and social justice theoretical perspectives are needed more than ever.

“…A constatação de que em muitas localidades a medida sofria oscilações nas concentrações de fluoreto (Vasconcellos, 1982;Barros et al 1990;Chan et al, 1993) tem motivado a implantação de sistemas de vigilância sanitária da fluoretação das águas de abastecimento público (Schneider Filho et al 1992;Narvai, 2000b), e a realização de estudos de monitoramento dos seus teores. Entretanto, nenhuma revisão sistemática dos estudos publicados ou um balanço crítico sobre o assunto foi divulgado.…”

1022-1022Ambiente & Água -An Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Science ISSN 1980-993X -doi:10.4136/1980 The following list (Table 1) includes the names and affiliations of all reviewers that evaluated the submissions processed for Volume 11, 2016 of Revista Ambiente & Água, including manuscripts that were accepted and published in one of the four annual issues and also manuscripts submitted and rejected in 2016 up to October 10, 2016. It may therefore include the names of reviewers that completed their evaluations between September, 2015 and October, 2016. We are deeply indebted to all of them that voluntarily and anonymously spent their precious time to support the journal, and contributed immensely to the quality of the published articles. We gratefully acknowledge their professional work and outstanding product. Note: 1) Some of these reviewers evaluated more than one manuscript; 2) This list includes reviewers that evaluated submissions that were not accepted for publication, in addition to the ones published in 2016.As seen in Table 2, 21 reviewers are from international institutions. This is an indication that the journal is gaining international acceptance and inclusion. ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the reverse logistics of empty agrochemical containers, the partners involved, and it focuses on the participation of the Agricultural Defense Agency of the São Paulo state government in reducing the risk of water and soil contamination in order to preserve these resources for future generations. O sistema de logística reversa e o papel da fiscalização governamental para a preservação do solo e da água: o caso das embalagens vazias de defensivos agrícolas RESUMO Este trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar como a logística reversa das embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos funciona, quais são os parceiros envolvidos, focando na participação da Defesa Agropecuária do governo do Estado de São Paulo, na redução dos riscos de contaminação de água e solo, com o objetivo de preservar estes recursos para as gerações futuras.Palavras-chave: agricultura, agrotóxico, contaminação ambiental. DISCUSSIONConsidered a regulatory landmark in 1989, a Brazilian federal law first demonstrated the country's concern with the handling and disposal of pesticide containers. Previously, most of the focus was on pesticide efficiency and most of the containers were made of glass, not of plastic as they are today. The environment was still not considered an important concern, and even today Brazil is the largest consumer of pesticides worldwide. The correct handling and disposal of pesticide containers is therefore of primary importance in public policy. Brazil's Federal Laws 7802 (Brazil, 1989), 9974 (Brazil, 2000 and Decree 4074 (Brazil, 2002) regulate the obligation to return empty pesticide containers to retailers or producers. In 2010, reverse logistics was defined by Federal Law 12305 (Brazil, 2010), which created the National Policy on Solid Waste. According to this law, reverse logistics can be understood as a set of actions...

O modelo de vigilância da água e a divulgação de indicadores de concentração de fluoreto

et al. 2018

RESUMO A vigilância da água é uma estratégia essencial para assegurar padrões de segurança e qualidade para o consumo humano. Entre os parâmetros de qualidade, destaca-se o fluoreto. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o modelo de vigilância da qualidade da água e apresentar uma proposta de indicadores e disseminação das informações à população com relação ao parâmetro fluoreto. Com base nas principais evidências científicas, explica-se a importância de se manter o parâmetro sob controle nos sistemas de abastecimento e apresenta-se uma descrição sumária do modelo de vigilância da água no Brasil, mostrando que o desenho não oferece indicadores para monitorar longitudinalmente o parâmetro nem a visibilidade a todos os que têm direito à informação. Em seguida, apresentam-se as bases técnicas e operacionais do Sistema de Vigilância da Fluoretação da Água de Abastecimento Público, uma proposta para aprimoramento do modelo. Indicadores para disseminação das informações são descritos, argumentando-se que o País dispõe de recursos e condições para superar a precariedade das informações sobre a concentração de fluoreto e sobre a cobertura da fluoretação da água em todas as unidades do território nacional.
