ABSTRACT

The ailments of the intradomestic environment are so frequent that they go unnoticed by the health personnel as well as by the same patient, next we will expose environments that can generate pathologies. Excessive humidity increases the chance of respiratory disease. Water-related diseases vary considerably in nature, transmission, composition, effects and treatment, adverse health effects related to water can be organized into different categories: water-borne diseases, including those caused by fecal-oral organisms and those caused by toxic substances. The vibrations that can occur in the vicinity of buildings, traffic, proximity to elevators, trains, metro can cause diverse effects, ranging from simple annoyance to serious alterations of health through interference in human activity. When lighting is not adequate, performance decreases and incidents and accidents can occur.
