Air Quality and Health Impacts of Future Ethanol Production and Use in São Paulo State, Brazil
It is often argued that liquid biofuels are cleaner than fossil fuels, and therefore better for human health, however, the evidence on this issue is still unclear. Brazil's high uptake of ethanol and role as a major producer makes it the most appropriate case study to assess the merits of different biofuel policies. Accordingly, we modeled the impact on air quality and health of two future fuel scenarios in São Paulo State: a business-as-usual sc…
Associação entre material particulado de queimadas e doenças respiratórias na região sul da Amazônia brasileira
The results suggest that the levels of particulate matter from biomass burning in the Amazon are associated with adverse effects on the respiratory health of children
Impact on human health of particulate matter emitted from burnings in the Brazilian Amazon region
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact on human health of exposure to particulate matter emitted from burnings in the Brazilian Amazon region. METHODS: This was an ecological study using an environmental exposure indicator presented as the percentage of annual hours (AH%) of PM2.5 above 80 μg/m3. The outcome variables were the rates of hospitalization due to respiratory disease among children, the elderly and the intermediate age group, and due to chil…
Air pollution and hospital admissions for respiratory diseases in the subequatorial Amazon
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of the daily variation in concentrations of fine particulate matter (diameter less than 2.5μm - PM2.5) resulting from the burning of biomass on the daily number of hospitalizations of children and elderly people for respiratory diseases, in Alta Floresta and Tangará da Serra in the Brazilian Amazon in 2005. This is an ecological time series study that uses data on daily number of hospitalizatio…
Emissões de queimadas em ecossistemas da América do Sul
AS QUEIMADAS que ocorrem majoritariamente em áreas tropicais do planeta, são fontes importantes de poluentes para a atmosfera. Na América do Sul, durante os meses de inverno, uma área, principalmente de ecossistemas de cerrado e floresta, da ordem de 40 mil km2 é queimada anualmente. Estas queimadas ocorrem primariamente nas regiões Amazônica e do Brasil Central, porém, através do transporte atmosférico de suas emissões resulta uma distribuição e…
