The work of collecting and relocating accumulated debris in homes continues until Friday and serves to prevent the formation of deposits
The fight against the Aedes aegypti mosquito began in the Federal District. On the morning of this Wednesday (10), in the Administrative Region of Água Quente, the action was carried out. Environmental Surveillance teams, in partnership with the Regional Administration of Recanto das Emas (which temporarily serves the community) and Novacap, removed about 20 tons of debris from Chácara Rocio Dom Francisco, on the banks of DF-280.
The work of collecting and relocating accumulated debris in homes continues until Friday and serves to prevent the formation of deposits that can be used by the mosquito. Temples of the Egyptians as a breeding ground. According to Environmental Surveillance agent Anderson de Moraes Leocadio, management is carried out in the administrative regions that have the highest degree of vulnerability.
“People tend to keep rubbish indoors. These materials, even in the dry period, cause accumulation of water and deposits that can be outbreaks of dengue. We instruct the population during this period, together with other bodies such as SLU and Agefis, to remove all possible garbage from inside the residence. The smaller the deposit, the smaller the population of mosquitoes that can contaminate the population”, he observes.
From door to door
The identification of the accumulation of materials with positive deposits in the residences takes place through daily technical visits, carried out by agents who go from house to house recording the number of objects and reports from residents in bulletins. From there, a relationship is made with the positive cases of dengue registered by epidemiological surveillance, and the agencies are called upon to remove the debris.
Ana Patrícia Soares Pinto, 47, has been a waste picker for five years and lives in the region. According to her, residents throw waste anywhere, even though they have certain days for collection.
“They have the right places to play, but they play where it’s easier. If the population had a little more awareness, the government would spend less on this and more on other things that are also important, ”he points out. She comments on the GDF action carried out in the region: “Debris cleaning removes dirt from the street and prevents the dengue mosquito. It’s good for the general population.”

The administrator of Recanto das Emas, Carlos Dalvan Soares, draws attention to irregular disposal: “In the region there are cases of dengue, zika and chikungunya. The government alone cannot win this war. Community partnership is necessary, disposing of garbage correctly and, above all, keeping the city clean”.
