The mining dam failures in Mariana (2015) and Brumadinho (2019), Minas Gerais, Brazil, caused catastrophic loss of life and severe environmental damage. The drastic environmental changes caused by mudflows may have contributed to an increase in vector-borne infectious diseases and other public health concerns. This study analyzed infectious disease incidence between 2014 and 2020 using data from the Brazilian DATASUS platform and on-site assessments of rivers and environmental conditions. In Mariana, schistosomiasis notifications remained minimal, while dengue infections rose by over 100 % in both Mariana and Brumadinho. Incidents involving venomous animals remained high but unrelated to mining incidents. Mining collapses appear to have contributed to the rise in dengue and schistosomiasis cases in affected areas. Integrating sustainable development goals into mining practices is crucial to preventing future incidents and the emergence of vector-borne diseases in areas affected by mining activities.
2015年发生在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州马里亚纳的矿坝决堤事故以及2019年发生在布鲁马迪纽的矿坝决堤事故，造成了灾难性的人员伤亡和严重的环境破坏。泥石流导致的剧烈环境变化可能促使了媒介传播传染病及其他公共卫生问题的增加。本研究利用巴西DATASUS平台的数据以及对河流和环境状况的现场评估，分析了2014年至2020年期间的传染病发病率。在马里亚纳，血吸虫病通报病例数依然很少，而在马里亚纳和布鲁马迪纽，登革热感染病例均增加了100%以上。涉及有毒动物的事件数量依然居高不下，但与采矿事故无关。采矿事故似乎导致了受影响地区登革热和血吸虫病病例的增加。将可持续发展目标纳入采矿作业对于预防未来事故以及采矿活动影响地区媒介传播疾病的出现至关重要。
