1. Assessment of Atmospheric PM10 Pollution Levels and Chemical Composition in Urban Areas near the 2016 Olympic Game Arenas
Coarse particulate matter (PM10) concentrations and chemical composition were monitored from 2014 to 2017 at three sampling sites in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, namely Botafogo, Gávea, and Gericinó. All sites are located close to the 2016 Olympic Game arenas. The average annual PM10 concentrations were above the limits recommended by the Wor

3. Characterization of new selective coatings, made of granite and chrome, for solar collectors
ABSTRACT The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and climate change caused by atmospheric pollution has led the human being to seek alternatives that are less damaging to the environment. The concern and the awareness of the population open space for the study of renewable energies to be deepened, among them the best use of solar energy. The use of alternative

4. MODELOS FOTOQUÍMICOS SIMPLES COMO FERRAMENTA PARA O GERENCIAMENTO DA QUALIDADE DO AR
Atmospheric processes in an urban scenario are very complex and depend on meteorological parameters, emission, transport and deposition processes and the chemical mechanism. Simple air quality models can be used to understand the main aspects of ozone formation and provide information to adopt pollution control strategies. In this work the detailed simulatio

5. Biomonitoring of Toxic Elements in Plants Collected Near Leather Tanning Industry
The present work aimed the study of atmospheric deposition of toxic elements near to a tannery industry by collecting black material deposited on leaf surfaces of cinnamon trees (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Elements such as As, Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Sb, V, and Zn were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For comparison purpose, bl

6. Clean air matters: an overview of traffic-related air pollution and pregnancy
ABSTRACT The right to a healthy pregnancy and to giving birth in a safe environment is source of comprehensive research. Decent birth facilities, respect, and no discrimination are already recognized as fundamental rights, but an accurate look at the outdoor environment is required. Air pollution is a dangerous factor to pregnant women and newborns, many of

7. ANÁLISE DA CONCENTRAÇÃO E COMPOSIÇÃO DE AEROSSÓIS DE QUEIMADAS NO PANTANAL MATO-GROSSO
The Earth's atmosphere has a large number of small solid and liquid particles which differ in size, shape and composition. One of the most obvious characteristics of the phenomena of air pollution is linked to the occurrence of atmospheric aerosol. The research was conducted in a protected nature reserve, Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) Social Servic

8. ETHANOL DEHYDRATION IN PACKED DISTILLATION COLUMN USING GLYCEROL AS ENTRAINER: EXPERIMENTS AND HETP EVALUATION
Abstract The ethanol-water separation is very important because ethanol is widely applied in the chemical industry and its use as a fuel can reduce the pollution emitted to the air. However, anhydrous ethanol production using conventional distillation is impossible, at atmospheric pressure, due to the presence of an azeotrope. In the present work, experiment

9. Method for determining the photocatalytic potential of portland cement mortar containing TiO2 for decomposing the pollutant nitrogen monoxide
Photocatalytic materials can minimize atmospheric pollution by decomposing certain organic and inorganic pollutants using sunlight as an energy source. In this paper, the development of a methodology to measure the photocatalytic potential of mortar containing TiO2 nanoparticles is reported. The results indicate that up to 40% of NOx can be degraded by Portl

10. The bioindicative potential evaluation of Tabebuia alba (Cham.) Sandwith, Bignoniaceae, in urban atmospheric pollution
This study aimed to evaluate the existence of leaf anatomic characteristics in Tabebuia alba changed by air pollutants, which could be used as tool for a bioindication program. The quantification of mutagenic events on pollen grains also were measured. For this, median leaves and pre-anthesis flowers were collected from the adult plants from three places of

11. Biomonitoramento vegetal da qualidade do ar em Ribeirão Preto - SP / Biomonitoring of air quality with plants in Ribeirão Preto - SP.
The air quality monitoring in Ribeirão Preto is carried out by Cetesb with conventional methods and, until now, no experimental study on air pollution biomonitoring was conducted in the region. The city has a growing number of motor vehicles and is located in one of the most important regions of the country for the sugarcane sector. The frequent burning of

12. Avaliação do ciclo de vida da areia em mineradora de pequeno porte, na região de São José do Rio Preto - SP / Life Cycle Assessment of sand in small mining in São José do Rio Preto region - São Paulo.
The mining of sand, although of great socio-economic importance to the national scene, has several negative impacts throughout the production chain. Among some of the interference in the natural environment occurs, soil degradation, air pollution and stress in the fauna and flora. This fact has generated great interest in mechanisms that mitigate or prevent
