Air Pollution in the Brazilian Road Transport and Its Environmental and Social Consequences

Emission of Air Pollution in the Transport Sector: Case Study of the City of Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil

“…The results of this research corroborate with data obtained in researches carried out in Campos dos Goytacazes by Geórgia et al [8], Geórgia et al [21]; and Carla et al [27]. Therefore, this makes it possible to assess that the gaseous emissions from combustion in automotive vehicles still show a pattern of possible polluting gases in the ppmv range, which depending on the type of vehicle and year influence the variations in emissions.…”

“…The transport sector is one of the main polluters of the environment world level [7] [8] [9] [10]. This sector has been using fossil fuels intensively since the industrial revolution, contributing to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions [1].…”

“…Those have been used in several research areas [20], as in the detection of emissions of trace gases (CO, NO x and SO 2 ) from diesel engines [21] and vehicles powered by ethanol and gasoline [22], indoor air quality (detection of toxic gases, such as benzene, toluene and methane) [23], agriculture (NH 3 and NO 2 ) and environmental monitoring of greenhouse gases greenhouse [24] [25]. In addition, studies have also been carried out of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) present in air pollution, emitted from diesel-powered vehicles in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes [8].…”
