ABSTRACT
The environmental management was assessed in 17 agroecosystems with probable health risks due to the presence of heavy metal pollution, by selecting variables and supporting on the qualitative analysis tool support. The development of the environmental analysis allowed determining the main problems in the studied areas. It was concluded that the management performed in these agroecosystems is inefficient. There it was evident the deterioration of the natural resources inserted in the productive dynamic, and also the incidence of the transmissible and non-transmissible diseases keeping a close relationship with environmental problems. We made the proposal of measures to mitigate the main problems identified in the studied area.REFERENCES
