“…N°4 does not apply to Santiago but was taken as a reference because it is the only current secondary regulation for this type of atmospheric particles in Chile. The Macul site surpassed the Great Britain standard for residential areas of 3.3 g/(m 2 ⋅30 days) (Machado et al., 2018) during four of the 5 months, while Las Condes and Ñuñoa exceed it during only 1 month. However, the values of total SPM sedimentation rate in Santiago measured in this study are similar to those of other urban areas in Asia, USA, Australia, Latin America, and other Chilean cities (see Exhibit 7).…”

“…Settleable particulate matter (SPM) is an atmospheric component present in all environments. A high sedimentation rate of SPM causes discomfort and a negative effect of the environment, especially in urban and residential areas (Machado et al, 2018). It may contain various types of particles having toxic effects for humans and ecosystems as well as important corrosive effects on monuments and sculptures (Alahmr, Othman, Abd Wahid, Halim, & Latif1, 2012;Chabas et al, 2010;Gulsona et al 1995;Malakootian, Ghiasseddin, Akbari, & Jaafarzadeh-Haghighi, 2013;Sharma, Agrawal, & MarshalL, 2008;Trujillo-gonzález, Torres-Mora, Keesstra, Brevik, & Jiménez-Ballesta, 2016).…”

Settleable particulate matter (SPM) is an atmospheric pollutant harmful to human health and the environment in high concentrations. Despite this fact, no up-to-date information on SPM levels exists for the capital of Chile, Santiago (7 million inhabitants). To address this knowledge gap, SPM sedimentation rates, including soluble and insoluble components, were measured at three different urban sites from July to November of 2016. We compare the measurements with ambient and meteorological information, as well as urban typology settings. Our results indicate SPM deposition rates between 2.5 and 3.9 g/(m 2 ⋅30 days). Only one site exceeded the national limit of 4.5 g/(m 2 ⋅30 days), but we found an increasing trend in all three sites. SPM and its insoluble sedimentation rates increased during warm and dry months and presented significant correlations with meteorological parameters. The highest sedimentation rates were measured at the location with the least permeable surfaces and the lowest green spaces, while the lowest sedimentation rates were found in the sites with abundant green spaces and permeable soil. No significant differences were detected in the soluble components. Our results suggest that SPM levels in Santiago are close to the national limit and may increase with climate change and urban expansion.

“…The face-toface interviews randomly selected surrounding 1.5 km of each air-quality monitoring station (Figure 1). On the face-to-face interview the respondent confirmed in continuing the interviews in the following months (panel survey) about perceived annoyance (details in Machado, 2018).…”

“…In the MRV area, there is an interest to investigate the impact caused by PM due to population reports of being constantly annoyed (approximately 25% of the complaints to environmental agency in 2008 are about air pollution), specially by the amount of dust in surfaces (Souza, 2014;Melo et al, 2015). Recently, Machado et al (2018) have developed a survey where showed that, in the MRV, more than 90% of the respondents have complained about perceived annoyance caused by the air pollution and, the most of these complaints were related to the amount of dust in their houses.…”

As well known, Particulate matter (PM) is an air pollutant that causes damage to the health of humans, other animals, plants, affects the climate and is a potential cause of annoyance through deposition on various surfaces. The perceived annoyance caused by particulate matter is related mainly to the increase of settled dust in urban and residential environments. PM can originate from many sources, i.e., paved and unpaved roads, buildings, agricultural operations and wind erosion represent the largest contributions beyond the relatively minor vehicular and industrial sources emissions. The aim of this paper is to quantify the relationship between perceived annoyance and particulate matter concentration and to estimate the relative risk (RR). The data was collected in the Metropolitan Region of Vitoria (MRV), Brazil. For this purpose, the variables of interest were modelled using vector time series model (VAR), principal component analysis (PCA), and logistic regression (LOG). The combination of these techniques resulted in a hybrid model denoted as LOG-PCA-VAR which allows to estimate RR by handling multipollutant effects. This study shows that there is a strong association between the *Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript: Manuscripty REV OUT 2019.pdf Click here to view linked References 2 perceived annoyance and different sizes of PM. The estimates of RR indicate that an increase in air pollutant concentrations significantly contributes in increasing the probability of being annoyed.

“…Air pollution can cause various health impacts, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and cancer among others (WHO, 2014;Lercher et al, 1995;Llop et al, 2008;Nascimento et al, 2017;Souza et al, 2018). In addition to the direct health effects caused by the exposure to pollutants, air pollution may also cause annoyance (Amundsen et al, 2008;Machado et al, 2018;Orru et al, 2018b). The concept of annoyance can be complex and extremely subjective as it can be experienced as a perception, an emotion, an attitude or a mixture of these (Berglund, Berglund & Lindvall, 1987).…”
