“…The socio-environmental determinants recognized by the CHAs in this research are in agreement with those that have been reported in the literature, both from a conceptual point of view (CSDH, 2008;Sobral and Freitas, 2010;Akerman et al, 2011) and in association studies (Cassol, 2012;Acosta and Bassanesi, 2014;Antunes et al, 2014;Honorato et al, 2014;Lobato and Jardim, 2014;Chayb and Kozusny-Andreani, 2015;Ogata et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2017;Abe and Miraglia, 2018;Corá et al, 2020). RBCIAMB Also, according to Porto et al (2015), the various socio-environmental problems found in vulnerable communities, such as the lack of basic sanitation, respiratory problems, and drug use and abuse, among others, make up a serious and complex scenario, with the FHS and the CHA performance being a very important reference of care for the population.…”

“…Several studies on determinants of respiratory diseases in general, conducted by Antunes et al (2014), in different regions of Salvador, BA, and on the incidence of tuberculosis, conducted by Acosta and Bassanesi (2014), in different regions of the city of Porto Alegre, RS, also identified an association between schooling, income, sanitation services, health services, and characteristics and location of the houses and a higher number of cases. The relationship between atmospheric contaminants and health problems is also the focus of research studies carried out by Silva et al (2017), Abe and Miraglia (2018) and Corá et al (2020), drawing attention to determinants related to industrialization, urban mobility, and the importance of public policies for transportation and air pollution control.…”

Studies about socio-environmental determinants are recognized as important to better understand the factors that influence health and quality of life, and how they operate to generate inequalities. This article reports the mapping of socio-environmental determinants of health, carried out by community health agents from the community of Paraisópolis, the second-largest slum in the city of São Paulo (state of São Paulo), seeking to analyze potential contributions of this participatory process to urban management and planning. As part of an action research study and following the stages of Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary (Culture Circles), the mapping was carried out by integrating the Talking Map technique with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in what has been called Participatory GIS or Geographic Information Systems with Social Participation (PGIS). Positive aspects were recognized and addressed by community agents, as well as several situations of socio-environmental vulnerability as a result of the agglomerated nature of the place, directly related to urban management and planning needs. This shows that, through a participatory mapping process, citizens cannot only better identify, but also more effectively communicate their needs and qualify intervention strategies in the territory. Therefore, it is possible to address the residents’ priorities more representatively, especially in places where traditionally marginalized social groups live. And also, community health agents, who play a central role in this research process because they live and work in the same place, are fundamental to boost, mobilize, and support the complex aspects involved, both in Primary Health Care, as well as in urban management and planning.

Studies around the world have revealed reduced levels of atmospheric particulate matter in periods of greatest human mobility restriction to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to carry out a health impact assessment in Recife, Brazil, hypothesizing a scenario in which the levels of PM 10 and PM 2.5 remained, throughout the year, as in the most restrictive period of human mobility. Particular material data (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ) were measured during the pandemic and population and health (mortality, hospital admissions for heart and respiratory problems) data from 2018 were used. We observed a reduction in the concentration of PM 2.5 in up to 43.7% and PM 10 up to 29.5% during the period of social isolation in the city of Recife. The reduction in PM 2.5 would avoid 106 annual deaths from non-external causes and 58 annual deaths from cardiovascular diseases. In this scenario, $ 294.88 million would be saved ($ 114.88 million from heart problems and $ 180 million from non-external causes). When considering hospitalizations avoided by the decrease in PM 10 , we observed 57 fewer hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, 42 for heart diseases and a reduction of 37 deaths due to non-external causes. The reduction in spending on respiratory and cardiovascular hospitalizations would exceed $ 330,000. Therefore, the reduction of particulate matter could prevent hospital admissions, deaths and consequently there would be a reduction in disease burden in developing countries where economic resources are scarce. In this sense, governments should seek to reduce levels of pollution in order to improve the life quality and health of the population.

“…The evaluation of economic costs associated with mortality for> 30 years was estimated according to Corá et al, ( 2020 ) using equation below: Where Cm = health cost of mortality for people over 30 years old, Vd = deaths associated with air pollution, VSL = value of a statistical life, attributed to Bickel and Friedrich ( 2005 ) a value of € 1,000,000 and converted into reais. The following conversion was considered: 1 euro is equivalent to 6.44 Brazilian reais, 1 euro is equivalent to 1.15 US Dollars and 1 US Dollars is equivalent to 5.75 Brazilian reais.…”

Recife is recognized as the 16th most vulnerable city to climate change in the world. In addition, the city has levels of air pollutants above the new limits proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021. In this sense, the present study had two main objectives: (1) To evaluate the health (and economic) benefits related to the reduction in mean annual concentrations of PM 10 and PM 2.5 considering the new limits recommended by the WHO: 15 µg/m 3 (PM 10 ) and 5 µg/m 3 (PM 2.5 ) and (2) To simulate the behavior of these pollutants in scenarios with increased temperature (2 and 4 °C) using machine learning. The averages of PM 2.5 and PM 10 were above the limits recommended by the WHO. The scenario simulating the reduction in these pollutants below the new WHO limits would avoid more than 130 deaths and 84 hospital admissions for respiratory or cardiovascular problems. This represents a gain of 15.2 months in life expectancy and a cost of almost 160 million dollars. Regarding the simulated temperature increase, the most conservative (+ 2 °C) and most drastic (+ 4 °C) scenarios predict an increase of approximately 6.5 and 15%, respectively, in the concentrations of PM 2.5 and PM 10 , with a progressive increase in deaths attributed to air pollution. The study shows that the increase in temperature will have impacts on air particulate matter and health outcomes. Climate change mitigation and pollution control policies must be implemented for meeting new WHO air quality standards which may have health benefits.
