Environmental degradation related to human activities, Fortaleza Metropolitan region, state of Ceará, Brazil

Zuquette, L. / Colares, J. / Pejon, O.

Abstract. This paper discusses the main environmental problems that have been responsible for the degradation of the environment in Fortaleza Metropolitan region, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Coastal erosion, gravitational mass movements, sedimentation, pollution of water, inappropriate landfilling and abandoned quarries and mines are the main environmental problems. A significant investment is required to rehabilitate these areas and alleviate the social and economic effects on the population.
