Regarding the theme of the effect of pollutants on the epidemiology and outbreak of cancer, there are contradictions and disagreements in scientific research. The objective of this article was to present the most important information and aspects regarding the interference of environmental pollutants in health and the damage caused to the environment, due to the relevance of this topic to society in epidemiology, as it is still controversial and difficult to trace. The historical temporal evolution of tests carried out by an interdisciplinary team was presented to highlight contributions of different areas of engineering to environmental engineering itself, as well as potential applications in One Health. From the case study with qualitative temporal analysis of the information, once again the potential of a plant indicator for the marking of this environmental exposure was highlighted, both for early diagnosis and for potential phytoremediation in the face of the installed environmental damage, and thus the use of Euphorbia tirucalli was both proposed and justified. From this understanding that fulfilled the purposes of this stage of study, new biotechnological, ecophysiological and phytoremediation investigations are being carried out in the field for the continuation of the construction of analysis in consistent complexity aimed at resistance and sustainability.
