Environmental Sanitation, Zoonosis prevention measuresAbstract
The existence of adequate sanitation is an essential requirement for the protection of human health, as well as critical to environmental protection measure. In Brazil the diseases resulting from lack or inadequacy of sanitation, especially in poor areas, have compounded the epidemiological picture. In Rio Grande do Sul, from the 496 cities, only 41% have sewage disposal system, and a smaller slice still treats collected sewage: 15 % . In this context lies the city of Capão do Leão, where the supply of potable water is provided by a state company and sewage is collected in mixed network without final treatment. This study is justified as a management tool in helping to build a healthy environment in the city of Capão do Leão, and aimed to survey the diseases related to environmental factors that affected the population of Capão do Leão in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, as well as to give an overview of the current status of environmental sanitation in the city and diagnose the main environmental factors that can cause health problems to the local people. Through the analysis of the data obtained, it is concluded that the population of Capão do Leão is mainly exposed to zoonosis, excreta-related diseases and diseases via fecal-oral transmission. We found that, like in most cities, in Capão do Leão environmental sanitation is still far from ideal, as it lacks infrastructure items for the prevention of diseases related to environmental factors. The Local Sanitation Plan has been structured, which must contribute to advances in environmental sanitation in the coming years.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
