Objetivo: Identificar as concepções dos profissionais de enfermagem no tocante ao gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos em serviços de saúde (RSSS) em um hospital público da cidade de Santa Cruz/RN. Métodos: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa desenvolvida em 2010 na qual se utilizou para a coleta de dados entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com 17 profissionais de enfermagem. Os dados foram submetidos à análise temática de Bardin. Resultados: Emergiram duas categorias: manejo inadequado dos RSSS como fator de prejuízos ambientais; e gerenciamento inadequado dos RSSS percebido como risco para a saúde pública, as quais demonstraram que os profissionais de enfermagem parecem conhecer parcialmente o gerenciamento de RSSS, restringindo-o a algumas etapas. Conclusão: Necessita-se de um maior aprofundamento da temática junto à equipe de enfermagem, de forma a prepará-la para lidar com a questão dos RSSS. Descritores: Enfermagem, Resíduos sólidos, Serviços de saúde, Gerenciamento de resíduos.

This report provides a review of municipal solid waste (MSW) management in Kano, Nigeria. It employs a number of performance indicators, which include: waste collection, controlled disposal, materials recovery and financial sustainability. Other indicators are: user inclusivity, provider inclusivity and institutional coherence. A material flow diagram indicates a large amount of waste going to the informal recovery and reuse sector. Comparisons with world cities show that Kano performs below the low-income category in terms of solid waste management (SWM). The biodegradable portion of the waste constitutes 68%, 62.5% of the total waste being generated by the household sector at a rate of 0.56 kg capita -1 day-1. The SWM system is under budgeted and with the rapid increase in population, an effective and efficient SWM system would be required.
