Avaliação da concentração e composição inorgânica do material particulado colet...
Beringui,Karmel; Quijano,Maria Fernanda C.; Justo,Elizanne P. S.; Ventura,Luciana Maria Baptista; Gioda,AdrianaCities urbanization and modernization increase emission sources, contributing to particulate matter (PM) composition heterogeneity and enhance the risk to human health and environment. This paper intends to survey the studies on particulate matter carried out in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The sampling of PM is generally made using Hi-Vol samplers to collect particles in fiberglass filter during 24 h every 6 d...
Estimativa da concentração média diária de material particulado fino na região ...
Couto,Lucas de Oliveira do; Nuto,Sharmênia de Araújo Soares; Hacon,Sandra de Souza; Gioda,Adriana; Sousa,Francisco Wagner deA exposição ao material particulado fino (MP2,5) está associada a inúmeros desfechos à saúde. Desta forma, monitoramento da concentração ambiental do MP2,5 é importante, especialmente em áreas amplamente industrializadas, pois abrigam potenciais emissores do MP2,5 e de substâncias com potencial de aumentar a toxicidade de partículas já suspensas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é estimar a concentração diária do MP2,...
Assessment of Atmospheric PM10 Pollution Levels and Chemical Composition in Urb...
Justo,Elizanne P. S.; Quijano,Maria Fernanda C.; Beringui,Karmel; Saint’Pierre,Tatiana D.; Gioda,AdrianaCoarse 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 World Health Organization (WHO) at all sampling sites. Of a...
Exposição ao uso da lenha para cocção no Brasil e sua relação com os agravos à ...
Gioda,Adriana; Tonietto,Gisele Birman; Leon,Antonio Ponce deResumo A poluição do ar em ambientes fechados é agravada pela queima de lenha em fogões rústicos e ambientes pouco ventilados. A exposição aos poluentes emitidos por este tipo de combustível resulta no aumento da morbidade e da mortalidade. No Brasil, os estudos e as estimativas são escassos. Visando entender esta problemática, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o uso de lenha utilizando as séries de dado...
Biomonitoring of Toxic Elements in Plants Collected Near Leather Tanning Industry
Cruz,Alex R. H. De La; Ferreira,Lorreine D. S. C.; Andrade,Vinicius P.; Gioda,AdrianaThe 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, black particles deposited on the leaf surface of lemon t...
COMPARAÇÃO DOS NÍVEIS DE POLUENTES EMITIDOS PELOS DIFERENTES COMBUSTÍVEIS UTILI...
Gioda,AdrianaGlobal warming is one of the most worrying environmental problems nowadays. A joint effort has been made by many countries to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, responsible for global warming. The evidences indicate that global warming is occurring due to anthropogenic activities, mainly caused by the using of fossil or biomass fuels. Although this effect is more directly associated with external emission...
Concentration Profiles of Regulated and Unregulated Pollutants Emitted from the...
Amaral,Beatriz S.; Ventura,Luciana M. B.; Amaral,Ariane S.; Francisco Neto,R. A.; Gioda,AdrianaThis study evaluated the concentration profiles of regulated and unregulated pollutants emitted from a stationary diesel engine cycle, operating at the speed of 1800 rpm and 0% load, using biofuels and binary blends. The experimental test considered fuel burning time on three different periods and storage times. The operation of the engine when it is still cold, for example at 15 minutes, showed negative effect...
Validation method to determine metals in atmospheric particulate matter by indu...
Ventura,Luciana M. B.; Amaral,Beatriz S.; Wanderley,Kristine B.; Godoy,José M.; Gioda,AdrianaAtmospheric particulate matter (PM) is a pollutant composed by various metals, that when accumulated in the respiratory system may cause serious health problems. Methods IO-3.1 (metal extraction in PM) and IO-3.4 [metal determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES)] are the recommended by the United State Environmental Protection Agency. With the intent to evaluate the perf...
Distribution of indoor air pollutants in downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Siqueira,Celeste Y. S.; Gioda,Adriana; Carneiro,Fabiana P.; Ramos,Maria da Conceição K. V.; Aquino Neto,Francisco R.Indoor air quality (IAQ) has been a matter of public concern in Brazil. However, few studies have been performed in the whole country. This work presents an IAQ survey conducted in different kinds of indoor environments in Rio de Janeiro City. Air samples were analyzed to determine individual and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), aldehydes, total particulate matter (TPM) and fungi. TVOC concentrations r...
Evaluation of air quality in Volta Redonda, the main metallurgical industrial c...
Gioda,Adriana; Sales,José A.; Cavalcanti,Paulina M. S.; Maia,Marilza F.; Maia,Luiz F. P. G.; Aquino Neto,Francisco R.The largest steel plant in Brazil is located in Volta Redonda city, RJ. Coke production in this kind of industry is the major emission source of aromatic compounds. Aiming the implementation of pollution control measures in industries, FEEMA, Rio de Janeiro State environmental agency, evaluated air quality in that city in Dec/95-May/96 and Apr-May/99. In the first campaign, total suspended particles (TSP), benz...
