Abstract

Disordered growth and lack of basic sanitation has been causing environmental pollution, which has resulted in several problems related to the insertion of effluents in water bodies in an anthropogenic manner, which leads to low quality of public health and degradation of the environment. This article aims to carry out a conceptual historical review on the insertion of effluents in an anthropogenic way in Lagoa Feia, Quissamã, Brazil, in order to understand and describe the sanitary,  environmental, technical and social aspects inherent to the anitary effluent system of the communities that reside in the surroundings of this water body. Through the methodology of bibliographic review on the topic addressed, this paper aimed to characterize the historical situation of the lagoon water over the years. It was concluded that there is an insertion of effluents in the water body in an anthropogenic way by the community that lives around the Lagoa Feia and in a secondary way by contamination by its tributaries.
