Environmental pollution exposure impacts on brazilian health: a systematic review

environmental health, air pollution, water pollution, pesticides, toxic metalsAbstract
Environmental factors are being related to more than 12 million deaths each year, almost a quarter of global deaths. However, the adoption of preventive and mitigating actions in order to reduce their impact on public health has been neglected in developing countries, such as Brazil. In this context, this study conducted a systematic review of the research carried out in Brazil between 2015 and 2020, regarding the relationship between exposure to environmental pollution and population health. The search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and Medline/Pubmed. Among the 121 articles selected, the environmental exposure studied - air pollution (57.7%), water pollution (21.1%), by pesticides (14.6%), by toxic metal (4.9%) and by noise (1.6%) - was related to several health problems, like cancer, cardiorespiratory and neurological diseases, infections, congenital malformations, hearing loss and others. Regards the socioenvironmental and economic implications of different types of pollution, the Brazilian population still experiences these problems unevenly, with greater consequences for vulnerable communities or certain occupational activities. Most of the studies were carried out in the Brazilian Southeast region, highlighting the importance of Higher Education Institutions and Research Centers for scientific development. The environmental matrices that impact public health were identified, which are closely related to the Sustainable Development Goals raised by the United Nations in 2015, providing focused information for future studies and for environmental and health managers in Brazil.
