Abstract
Introduction. Cleaner production is a strategy companies have, focused on productive processes, products
and services, aiming to strengthen competitiveness through encouraging innovations, cost reductions and also
the reduction of risks for human health and for the environment. Objectives. Identifying and categorizing environmental impacts and aspects in a water quality laboratory. methodology. For this research work, the raw
material, fuel, electricity and water inputs are considered, and also are outputs –emissions, noises, discharges,
and waste- aiming to fulfill environmental laws and resource management. Results. The most relevant results
of this research allow the categorization of environmental impacts for the area studied, with average and low
significance levels. Conclusions. Environmental impacts have a municipal level and are severe, but they are
controlled with tools and infrastructure to minimize their influence in the surroundings. Most of environmental
impacts have an average significance in the inputs and low in the outputs, due to the application of strategies of
environmental management and to the law enforcement.
