“…One of them concerns the time spent commuting from home to work, which can cause stress on many levels and compromise the time available for study or leisure. In addition, longer commuting time may expose people to higher doses of air pollution in large cities [17]. Finally, residential segregation is a broad concept that refers to housing separated from different population groups in different parts of a city [18].…”

The individual's socioeconomic conditions are the most relevant to predict the quality of someone's health. However, such information is not usually found in medical records, making studies in the area difficult. Therefore, it is common to use composite indices that characterize a region socioeconomically, such as the Human Development Index (HDI). The main advantage of the HDI is its understanding and adoption on a global scale. However, its applicability is limited for health studies since its longevity dimension presents mathematical redundancy in regression models. Here we introduce the GeoSES, a composite index that summarizes the main dimensions of the Brazilian socioeconomic context for research purposes. We created the index from the 2010 Brazilian Census, whose variables selection was guided by theoretical references for health studies. The proposed index incorporates seven socioeconomic dimensions:

“…At present, a lot of research has been accumulated in large spatial scale, like global scale or national scale [21][22][23]. Actually, their research often concentrated on major urban agglomerations and some major cities [24][25][26][27] because of rich data of those large spatial scale regions.…”

City disaster resilience and urban environmental cleanliness are two representative indicators used to assess the safety of human settlements in China's Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). Traditional research on SDGs mainly concentrated at large-scale spatial level, such as global level or national level. It brings unclear significance to the implementation of SDGs in the county-level. The goal of this paper is to find a new calculation method to apply the index of urban disaster resilience and urban environmental cleanliness to the evaluation of county-level areas. A localization of county-level city disaster resilience and urban environmental cleanliness based on Deqing County's situation was carried out. With quantification and projections of local data, the assessments of city disaster resilience and urban environmental cleanliness have completed. The evaluation showed that city disaster resilience is maintained at a low level, while indicators of urban cleanliness are lower than standards. The prediction of urban per capita environmental impact index based on Grey Time-Series Prediction Model was finished. The forecast showed that the urban per capita impact indicators in the next three years have not exceeded the standard line. The two indicators used to assess the safety of human settlements were consistent with the sustainable development of urban settlement. Partial results of this research were reported as a "county sample" at the first UN Geographic Information Conference held in Deqing in 2018.

“…No Brasil, o rápido processo de urbanização e industrialização foi acompanhado da emissão de poluentes atmosféricos e da consequente deterioração da qualidade do ar. O foco no desenvolvimento econômico sem considerar os impactos ambientais resultou em efeitos negativos na saúde da população, principalmente no caso de residentes em regiões metropolitanas (MIRAGLIA; NASCIMENTO SALDIVA; BÖHM, 2005;GOUVEIA, 2014;TAKANO et al, 2019;WANG et al, 2019). Até a década de 1980, as indústrias eram a principal fonte de emissão de poluentes na região metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) .…”

RESUMOO ozônio (O 3 ) é um dos poluentes responsáveis pela deterioração da qualidade do ar em áreas urbanas. Trata-se de um poluente secundário, formado na atmosfera por meio de reações fotoquímicas, e sua produção depende tanto de fatores meteorológicos quanto de fatores químicos. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a variabilidade interanual das concentrações de O 3 na região metropolitana de São Paulo entre 2005 e 2015, isolando a contribuição de fatores químicos mediante a aplicação do filtro Kolmogorov-Zurbenko. Os resultados mostraram que a variabilidade das condições meteorológicas explicou de 39 a 52% da variância das concentrações de O 3 no período de estudo. A incidência relativamente baixa de radiação solar em 2008 e 2009 foi um fator limitante para a produção de O 3 , já que as concentrações observadas foram inferiores às concentrações esperadas considerando apenas os fatores químicos. Por outro lado, os picos de concentração de O 3 entre 2010 e 2012 foram atribuídos majoritariamente a fatores químicos, associados a mudanças no padrão de emissão de precursores. Nos anos em que foram constatadas altas concentrações de O 3 , houve aumento no consumo de gasolina em relação ao etanol.Palavras-chave: qualidade do ar; ozônio; condições meteorológicas; química da atmosfera; região metropolitana de São Paulo. ABSTRACTOzone (O 3 ) is one of the main pollutants that contribute to air quality deterioration in urban areas. It is a secondary pollutant, produced in the atmosphere by photochemical reactions, in a way that its formation depends both on meteorological and chemical factors. This work aimed to analyze the interannual variability of O 3 concentrations at the São Paulo metropolitan region between 2005 and 2015, isolating the contribution of chemical factors using the Kolmogorov-Zurbenko filter. Results indicate that the variability of meteorological conditions explained from 39 to 52% of O 3 concentration variance during the study period. The relatively low incidence of solar radiation in 2008 and 2009 was a limiting factor for the O 3 production, since the observed concentrations were below what would be expected if only chemical factors were considered. Conversely, O 3 concentration peaks between 2010 and 2012 were mainly associated with chemical factors, associated with changes in the emission pattern of precursors. Years with high O 3 concentrations occurred simultaneously with increases on the gasoline usage relative to ethanol.
