description Abstract: Productive forces and capitalist production relationships have expanded worldly. This is seen in the accumulation of capital and industrialization in Asia and Latin America, which involves a process of urbanization, a fall of rural population and proletarianization of the work force. This accumulation of capital has produced an accumulation of carbon dioxide exceeding the bearable minimum for life sustainability. It also has an influence on wealth distribution; inequality which has remained stable over the last decades. The effects of this environmental damage and inequality have an impact on the population´s health. This work investigates about the dichotomy wealth - development which reflects the degree of inequality in contemporary societies and, on the other side, analyzes the effects of air and water pollution on human health. Descriptive and correlational study with cross sectional retrospective design. Results obtained show there is a strong association between growth and development. As wealth increases, the association rate decreases. Human development indicators show that, in developing countries, the most negative component is the inequality in wealth distribution. Growth and pollution are strongly associated by the use of fossil energy. The rate of change towards sustainable production systems in developed countries is very slow, whereas developing countries have become strong issuers of contaminating emissions. The business ethics ruling the system is still based on a rational and selfish being, dissociated from social aspects and the environment. There are exports of dirty industries from developed countries to developing ones. The group of underdeveloped countries makes evident some “apparently sustainable” conducts, since it uses biomass depredated from forests, doing away with sources of energy based on firewood and coal. Water polluting agents and the lack of sewerages systems are accountable for children mortality associated with diarrhea, malaria and others. The consequences on health are suffered by underdeveloped countries due to the lack of economic resources. Then we find developing countries, and in the last place developed countries which seem to minimally suffer the consequences of mortality in their population due to polluting agents.

Las fuerzas productivas y las relaciones de producción capitalistas se han expandido a nivel mundial. Esto se manifiesta en la acumulación de capital e industrialización en Asia y Latinoamérica, lo cual, conlleva un proceso de urbanización, caída de la población rural y proletarización de la fuerza laboral. Esta acumulación de capital, ha producido una acumulación de dióxido de carbono que supera el mínimo tolerable para la sustentabilidad de la vida. También influye sobre la distribución de la riqueza, cuya desigualdad permanece estable en las últimas décadas. Los efectos del daño ambiental y la desigualdad impactan sobre la salud poblacional. Este trabajo, indaga por un lado, sobre la dicotomía riqueza y desarrollo, que refleja el grado de inequidad en las sociedades contemporáneas y analiza los efectos de la contaminación del aire y el agua sobre la salud humana. El alcance es descriptivo y correlacional y el diseño retrospectivo transversal. Los resultados obtenidos indican que existe una fuerte asociación entre crecimiento y desarrollo. A medida que aumenta la riqueza la asociación se da a tasas decrecientes. Los indicadores de desarrollo humano muestran que, en los países en vías de desarrollo, el componente más negativo es la fuerte desigualdad en la distribución de la riqueza. El crecimiento y la contaminación están fuertemente asociados por el uso de energía fósil. La tasa de cambio de los países desarrollados hacia sistemas de producción sustentables es muy lenta, mientras los países en vías de desarrollo se han convertido en fuertes emisores de emanaciones contaminantes. La ética empresarial que rige el sistema, sigue basada en un individuo racional y egoísta, desvinculado de lo social y el medioambiente. Hay exportación de industrias sucias desde los países desarrollados a los que están en vías de desarrollo. El grupo de países subdesarrollados evidencia conductas “aparentemente sustentables” ya que se utiliza biomasa que depreda bosques y termina con fuentes de energía en base a leña y carbón. Los factores contaminantes del agua y la falta de infraestructura de saneamiento son responsables de la mortalidad infantil correspondiente a diarreas, malaria y otras. Las consecuencias en la salud la sufren los países subdesarrollados, por falta de recursos económicos. Luego se encuentran los países en vías de desarrollo y por último los países desarrollados que parecen sufrir mínimamente las consecuencias en la mortalidad de su población derivado de los factores contaminantes. Resumo: As forças produtivas e relações de produção capitalista espalharam-se globalmente. Isso manifesta-se na acumulação de capital e industrialização na Ásia e na América Latina, o que implica um processo de urbanização, o declínio da população rural e a proletarização da força de trabalho. Este acúmulo de capital, gerou um acúmulo de dióxido de carbono que ultrapassa o limite tolerável para a sustentabilidade da vida. Também influencia a distribuição da riqueza, cuja desigualdade permanece estável nas últimas décadas. Os efeitos dos danos ambientais e da desigualdade abalam a saúde da população. Este trabalho investiga por um lado a dicotomia riqueza e desenvolvimento, que reflete o grau de desigualdade nas sociedades contemporâneas e analisa os efeitos da poluição do ar e da água na saúde humana. O escopo é descritivo e correlacional e o design retrospectivotransversal. Os resultados obtidos indicam uma forte associação entre crescimento e desenvolvimento. Conforme a riqueza aumenta a associação ocorre a taxas decrescentes. Os indicadores de desenvolvimento humano mostram que nos países em desenvolvimento, o componente negativo é a forte desigualdade na distribuição da riqueza. O crescimento e a poluição estão fortemente associados com a utilização de energia fóssil. A taxa de câmbio dos países desenvolvidos para sistemas de produção sustentáveis é muito lento, enquanto os países em desenvolvimento tornaram-se fortes emissores de emissões poluentes. A ética empresarial que continua regendo o sistema, é baseada em um indivíduo racional e egoísta, afastado do contexto social e do meio ambiente. Existe uma exportação de indústrias poluentes dos países desenvolvidos para os países em desenvolvimento. O grupo dos países subdesenvolvidos evidencia comportamentos «aparentemente sustentáveis» já que utiliza biomassa que depreda florestas e termina com fontes de energia com base em lenha e carvão vegetal. Fatores poluintes da água e a falta de infra-estrutura de saneamento são responsáveis pela mortalidade infantil por diarréia, malária e outras doenças. Os países subdesenvolvidos sofrem as consequências para a saúde pela falta de verbas. Depois, estão os países em desenvolvimento e por último, os países desenvolvidos, que padecem minimamente a mortalidade da população derivada de fatores poluintes.
