RESUMO

Everywhere in the world, the popular culture associates the alterations in meteorological data - rain, wind, temperature, humidity - with the behavior of human health. Scientific studies have been conducted in the aim to relate the meteorology and climate to the occurrence of human diseases, specifically of the circulatory and respiratory systems. The Sao Paulo metropolis has shown changes in the meteorological conditions due to changes in atmospheric characteristics caused by the release of pollutants, which increased the impact of temperature and precipitation, inducing the number of issues, particularly in domain of a public health. This study evaluates the effects of micro-meteorological and micro-climate conditions into the human health, using statistic and geoprocessing techniques. The incidence of daily hospitalization of persons with respiratory problems, specifically with influenza (flu) and pneumonia, (obtained in the SUS network) has being relayed with variation in daily meteorological data (obtained by the IAG / USP). It was analyzed a period from January 2002 to December 2005. We are developing the models to simulate scenarios for human health in big cities in terms of global warming, which could help the planning and decisions of urban public policies and public health
