Mining is an activity requiring an environmental license in order to be carried out. Although the law in force provides for the inclusion of health concerns in the Environmental Impact Studies (EIS) in the scope of environmental licenses, this practice is still very insipient. This article aims at analyzing how human health related aspects were contemplated in the EIS regarding the licenses issued for the mining tailings dams operated by the company Samarco, in Germano Complex, located in the city of Mariana, state of Minas Gerais, which suffered a serious environmental disaster in 2015. Therefore, we analyzed the EIS prepared for the licensing of the iron ore tailings dam of Fundão, collapsed in 2015, and the EIS for the installation of the Alegria Sul’s tailings containment system, which replaced the previous one. This is a documental analysis qualitative research, where an analysis matrix specifically developed for that purpose was used. The comparative study between both EIS allowed us to conclude that the inclusion of health matters in both studies provided similar and incipient results as regards said inclusion, the Alegria Sul’s EIS being slightly superior. This research helped us understand the weaknesses existing in the health sector stake for environmental licenses granted to mining tailings dams.
