Abstract
The generation of waste is one of the major urban issues that the contemporary society deals with, as the unbridled usage has been generating several externalities that capitalism cannot solve. Thinking of ways/actions to solve waste’s issue is urgent. Biomedical waste is a kind that brings a load of toxic components that must be observed during the disposal, since it causes many losses to public health and environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study/research is to verify if Brazil has legal rules related to biomedical waste and, if they exist, to check if they are effective concerning public health and environment sustainability. The conclusion is that rules can give the legal protection needed, however, there is also a need for supervision procedures to assure their effectiveness. The method used for this study is the deductive, and the research is by bibliographic means, based on legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence, and as for the purposes, the research is qualitative.
