ANÁLISE DA DISTRIBUIÇÃO ESPACIAL DE DOENÇAS RESPIRATÓRIAS NA CIDADE DE IRATI-PR

Abstract

The problems of environmental pollution in cities are related to the poor quality of life of its inhabitants. Ineffectiveness in different sectors of Environmental Sanitation contribute to the emergence of diseases, such as the filtering of particles emitted by industries related to the increase in air pollution and the use outside drinking water standards related to cases of intestinal diseases. With the use of geoprocessing tools, it is possible to spatialize the problems found, and carry out analyzes and correlations. In this context, the objective of this research was to determine the incidence of respiratory diseases and their correlation with pollutant emission points through DATASUS data from patient records, supported by a Geographic Information System, according to Bertillon's classification of diseases and international disease code ICD 10, identifying environmental factors correlated with the onset of respiratory diseases, such as comparing cases with topography and climate. Geoprocessing techniques were used, such as spatial statistics, spatial analysis, comparison of incidence with topography and analysis of point patterns, with Ripley's K function, kriging and Moran's global index. The main results were related to the microclimate and the correlation with pollutant emission points, increasing the significance of proliferation in the incidence of respiratory diseases, showing areas in which, the formation and relief contributed to the increase in the incidence of respiratory diseases by up to 3 times relative as areas without surroundings.
