Resumen
La degradación de la calidad del aire-ambiente del cantón Milagro ha aumentado según lo establece la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) (World Health Organization, 2016), debido al aumento de fuentes móviles contaminantes y a las emisiones tóxicas provenientes de fuentes fijas. El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es analizar los efectos de la contaminación en la salud de la población económicamente activa (PEA) del cantón Milagro y como esta influye en el desempeño laboral. Los datos empleados en este estudio se obtuvieron por medio de la aplicación de encuestas que se realizaron a una muestra de 385 milagreños, entre empleados del sector público, privado e independientes, teniendo resultados negativos, puesto que la contaminación del aire – ambiente es una de las principales causas de enfermedades de la PEA que inciden en el ausentismo laboral, o en el óptimo desempeño de los trabajadores, provocando una disminución en la productividad de sus unidades de trabajo. Como corolario de la investigación se sugiere dos propuestas: crear una Ordenanza municipal para la sostenibilidad ambiental que declare el uso obligatorio de catalizadores en fuentes móviles para mitigar la contaminación factor aire en el cantón Milagro y, la implementación de lonas impregnadas de dióxido de titanio, para mitigar la contaminación en general (fuentes móviles y fijas
The degradation of ambient air quality in Canton Milagro has increased as established by the World Health Organization (WHO) (World Health Organization, 2016), due to the increase of mobile pollutant sources and toxic emissions from stationary sources. The objective of this research work is to analyze the effects of pollution on the health of the economically active population (PEA) of Canton Milagro and how it influences job performance. The data used in this study was obtained through the application of surveys that were conducted to a sample of 385 milagreños, among employees of the public, private and independent sectors, having negative results, since the air - environment contamination is one of the main causes of diseases of the EAP that affect labor absenteeism, or the optimal performance of workers, causing a decrease in the productivity of their work units. As a corollary to the research, two proposals are suggested: create a Municipal Ordinance for environmental sustainability that declares the mandatory use of catalysts in mobile sources to mitigate air pollution in the canton of Milagro, and the implementation of tarpaulins impregnated with titanium dioxide, to mitigate pollution in general (mobile and fixed sources
