Elaboración de un Plan de Gestión Ambiental de residuos peligrosos para las lavadoras y lubricadoras de la zona nueve de la ciudad de Macas.

Abstract

This research work analyzed the environmental effects caused by solid and liquid waste generated in washing machines and lubricators of vehicles of Zone 9 in Macas city, Morona canton. The Initial Environmental Review was based on the processes and activities of the research in order to determine the waste caused qualitatively and quantitatively, with this information, the environmental impact assessment was carried out into the RIAM (Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix), where was value the importance, magnitude, permanence, reversibility and accumulation, according to the relationship into the environmental categories and components. Afterward analyzed seven physical-chemical parameters (BOD, COD, Oils and Fats, SAAM, SST, Pb and HTP) of water quality regarding in this type of activities of the automotive sector showed in table 12 (parameters of monitoring of the discharges Industries) of Annex 1 of the TULSMA. The results obtained concluded that in the automotive stores studied, the parameter with the highest incidence was total oil hydrocarbons (LT 20,05 > 20, TAI 34,44 > 20, TO 49,07 > 20 y MG 47,94 > 20), for exceeding the maximum permissible limits, data that were compared with table 11 (discharge to the sewerage network) of book VI of the TULSMA , due to the washing of car bodies and oil spillage in the oil change area. A proposal was created to improve the management of liquid and solid waste and reduce the environmental impact generated in the area. Finally, it is suggested that the municipal ordinance on used oil and lubricants be revised in order to create mechanisms that help to prevent and mitigate impacts.
