Abstract

This seminar will address  the crash of one of the largest naphtha pipelines in southeastern Brazil, occurred in 1984, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. In this case, we describe the legal and socio-environmental conflicts involving community, government and industry, in their representative bodies. After almost 30 years of chemical accident,  the environmental damage stands without any deployed solution, with increasing environmental and health risk, since, currently, the area is densely occupied.
