Objective: to diagnose the aspects and associated environmental impacts in the Faculty of Stomatology of Havana in the period 2015-2017. Method: qualitative research. Theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction were used and as empirical methods the observation and system approach; bibliographic and documentary review was made on subjects related to the object of study. In addition, a survey and an interview were applied. The population and sample constituted 90 workers. Results: through the diagnosis, environmental aspects and impacts were identified and evaluated, which are not significant due to the possibility of their occurrence, given the general evaluation.
