13. A simulation study about the impact of biodiesel use on the atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro city
Abstract This study evaluates the impact of biofuels on the air quality of the city of Rio de Janeiro using an air quality model based on the trajectory model OZIPR associated with the SAPRC chemical model. The results show that the increase in biodiesel use reduces ozone levels in the atmosphere by 10.2 %, using Biodiesel with Ethanol and Diesel mixture (BE

14. Ozônio troposférico e compostos orgânicos voláteis em região impactada pela agroindústria canavieira
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of tropospheric ozone and VOCs under the sugarcane agro-industry emissions in urban and rural areas of Araraquara, SP. The sampling was performed using active and passive air samplers during the sugarcane harvest and in the period between harvests in 2011 and 2012. Also, canisters were undertaken i

15. AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICIÊNCIA DO MÉTODO TO-15 PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE COMPOSTOS ORGÂNICOS VOLÁTEIS EM CONDIÇÕES TÍPICAS DE AMBIENTE URBANO
The efficiency of U.S.EPA TO-15 Method was evaluated under typical conditions of an urban environment with natural and anthropic emission sources. The performance criteria which should be met for a system to qualify, were fulfilled: a detection limit of ≤0.2 ng for all target compounds, replicate precision for a calibration standard and ambient samples wit

16. Characterization of potential CO2 emissions in agricultural areas using magnetic susceptibility
ABSTRACTSoil CO2 emissions (fCO2) in agricultural areas have been widely studied in global climate change research, but its characterization and quantification are restricted to small areas. Because spatial and time variability affect emissions, tools need to be developed to predict fCO2 for large areas. This study aimed to investigate soil magnetic suscepti

17. Model-predicted ammonia emission from two broiler houses with different rearing systems
Ammonia (NH3) emissions from broiler production can affect human and animal health and may cause acidification and eutrophication of the surrounding environment. This study aimed to estimate ammonia emissions from broiler litter in two systems of forced ventilation, the tunnel ventilation (TV) and the dark house (DH). The experiment was carried out on eight

18. Understanding Ozone Concentrations During Weekdays and Weekends in the Urban Area of the City of Rio de Janeiro
In different cities around the world, higher ozone concentrations are observed during weekends for various reasons. This study aims to determine the causes of this effect in the city of Rio de Janeiro based on measurements obtained at three automatic air quality monitoring stations in the Bangu, Campo Grande and Irajá neighborhoods between 2012 and 2013.

19. AVALIAÇÃO METROLÓGICA DA CURVA ANALÍTICA PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DO TEOR DE ENXOFRE EM BAIXÍSSIMAS CONCENTRAÇÕES EM ÓLEO DIESEL S-10
The increasing search for a reduction in air emissions has provided a challenging analytical scenario. This paper discusses metrologically, the best practices relating to analytical curves for the determination of very low concentrations of sulfur content in diesel S-10 by monochromatic wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (MWDXRF). For w

20. Contaminación del aire en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: el riesgo de hoy o el cambio climático futuro, una falsa opción
Based on the theoretical framework of environmental risk, this article discusses the management of air quality in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in relation to current and potential impacts of toxic gases and global climate change on the health of the population. Information on historical and current management of the air was linked to the results of th

21. The influence of side-curtain color on broiler chick behavior
Brazilian poultry production is prospering, and negative-pressure broiler houses are increasingly used to improve environmental control. One important issue is the color of the side curtains used in such houses due to the influence of colors on broiler behavior. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of different curtain color on the welfare of 7-day-o

22. Experimental Valuation Diagnostics of Hydrous Ethanol Sprays Formed by a Blurry Injector
ABSTRACT: Concerns about the rising fuel price and environmental changes have led to the search for alternative fuels and energy sources. The interest in improving the performance of power generation, with the aim of reducing costs, increasing operating efficiency, and reducing the emissions of pollutants, has driven the scientific community to work on new b

23. Estudio del impacto en la calidad del aire de las fuentes puntuales en la ciudad de pinar del Río
A study of the impact of stationary sources on air quality on the city of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, using the modeling system MM5-CALMET-CALPUFF was made. The dispersion of SO2, NOx, CO, PM10 and PM25 emitted from 21 sources during 15 days is simulated by the model. This period is representative of the rainy season in Cuba (Summer). The of SO4(2-) and NO3- wet de

24. Measurements of emissions from motorcycles and modeling its impact on air quality
O aumento do número de motocicletas nas grandes cidades brasileiras é decorrência de uma série de fatores, como o congestionamento, o baixo custo, mobilidade, poucos estacionamentos e transporte público deficiente, tornando-se um importante fator na deterioração da qualidade do ar. Neste contexto, o monitoramento das emissões veiculares é essencial
