“…As condições meteorológicas também influenciam na qualidade do ar (DOMINICK et al, 2012;NOGAROTTO; e nas propriedades ópticas do MP (VALENTINI et al, 2020), na medida em que existem características microfísicas dos aerossóis que podem sofrer alterações forçadas pelas condições ambientais, por exemplo, o crescimento do tamanho das partículas em um cenário mais úmido.…”

A poluição atmosférica é um problema ambiental que provoca efeitos nocivos, tanto a curto quanto a longo prazo, gerando por isso, constante preocupação dos gestores, por todo o mundo. Este trabalho objetivou verificar tanto a tendência de comportamento na concentração de material particulado inalável (MP10), como a efetividade de políticas públicas na busca pela redução e controle deste poluente. Dois municípios paulistas, com características distintas de desenvolvimento, industrialização e expansão urbana foram usados como estudos de caso. Os dados de Marília (entre 2009 e 2020) e de Paulínia (entre 2002 e 2020) foram coletados da plataforma QUALAR, da Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB) e tratados com o auxílio do pacote Openair, do Software R. Foi possível verificar que inverno e primavera apresentaram concentrações mais elevadas de MP10, quando comparado às estações de verão e outono, assim como evidenciar que a sua concentração foi bem menor aos finais de semana. Os dados referentes as concentrações de MP10 dos municípios de Marília e Paulínia, quando confrontados ao Decreto Estadual nº 59.113, indicaram que, a partir de 2013, as concentrações deste poluente apresentaram consideráveis reduções, muito provavelmente relacionadas a ações e práticas de políticas públicas e pela atuação do órgão ambiental estadual. Para que se atinja as novas diretrizes da OMS, sugere-se que, novas medidas sejam adotadas.

“…An increase in PM 10 may be associated with urban dynamics and meteorological variables (Ramírez et al, 2018;Nogarotto and Pozza, 2020). It can include the reduction of the boundary layer height (Singh et al, 2020), variability in humidity conditions (Singh et al, 2020), and the horizontal movement of air masses (Nogarotto et al, 2021).…”

High particulate matter (PM) emissions from vehicular traffic impact air quality in urban areas. In 2018, a truckers’ strike interrupted some of the services in Brazil, leading to a fuel outage in several cities that significantly reduced the flow of vehicles. This study evaluated air quality during the strike in two cities (Limeira and Campinas) in Southeastern Brazil. PM10 concentration was analyzed in the periods before (BTS — 05/01/2018 to 05/22/2018), during (DTS — 05/23/2018 to 05/30/2018), and after (ATS — 05/31/2018 to 06/30/2018) the strike using the Theil-Sen method and the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with Exogenous Variables (ARIMAX). A reduction in the PM daily mean concentration in both cities occurred during the strike. Considering the daily peak time of vehicular flow (6:00 p.m.), the PM10 concentration was 20% higher in the BTS period compared to the DTS period for both cities. In comparison, the ATS period showed concentrations 17% (Limeira) and 7% (Campinas) higher when compared with the DTS period. The variations were statistically significant based on the time series models, and the influences of wind speed, rainfall on the sampling day and the day before sampling, and weekends were also evaluated. It was also possible to verify the contribution of the truckers’ strike to the PM10concentration in the two cities evaluated. In Limeira, truck traffic had a greater influence on the concentration of PM10, while in Campinas, the contribution of trucks was like that of light vehicles. Based on the variation of the PM10 concentration, the influence of changes in vehicle emission dynamics, one of the main sources of emission in the regions studied, was observed. The results indicate that restricting vehicular traffic had an immediate impact on improving air quality. Therefore, public investment in other types of transport and traffic control policies are suggested.

“…PM is all solid and liquid materials that, due to its small size, become suspended in the air [13][14][15][16][17]. Total suspended particles, inhalable particles (PM 10 ), fine inhalable particles (PM 2.5 and PM 1 ), and smoke are some types of PM, with PM 10 and PM 2.5 being the two major pollutants currently controlled [18][19][20].…”

“…It is well known that generation and dispersion of air contaminants depend on weather characteristics. High temperatures and sunshine cause the elevation in concentration of particulate matter, ozone, sulfate aerosols, and others, especially in hot summers and during heat waves episodes [1,8,9,20,78]. At the same time, the temperature rise is amplified by high levels of pollution, particularly PM and ozone [7,62,79].…”

Association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and respiratory health is well documented. At the same time, it is widely known that extreme weather events intrinsically exacerbate air pollution impact. Particularly, hot weather and extreme temperatures during heat waves (HW) significantly affect human health, increasing risks of respiratory mortality and morbidity. Concurrently, a synergistic effect of air pollution and high temperatures can be combined with weather–air pollution interaction during wildfires. The purpose of the current review is to summarize literature on interplay of hot weather, air pollution, and respiratory health consequences worldwide, with the ultimate goal of identifying the most dangerous pollution agents and vulnerable population groups. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases Web of Science, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Scopus, focusing only on peer-reviewed journal articles published in English from 2000 to 2021. The main findings demonstrate that the increased level of PM10 and O3 results in significantly higher rates of respiratory and cardiopulmonary mortality. Increments in PM2.5 and PM10, O3, CO, and NO2 concentrations during high temperature episodes are dramatically associated with higher admissions to hospital in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, daily hospital emergency transports for asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, and premature mortality caused by respiratory disease. Excessive respiratory health risk is more pronounced in elderly cohorts and small children. Both heat waves and outdoor air pollution are synergistically linked and are expected to be more serious in the future due to greater climate instability, being a crucial threat to global public health that requires the responsible involvement of researchers at all levels. Sustainable urban planning and smart city design could significantly reduce both urban heat islands effect and air pollution.
