“…Os compostos carbonílicos (CC) de baixa massa molar encontram-se bastante difundidos na natureza 1 e são absorvidos pelo organismo humano através da respiração 2,3 , por absorção cutânea ou pela ingestão de alimentos e bebidas 1,4,5 .…”

“…However, formaldehyde/ acetaldehyde ratios from Brazil are normally low due to the substantial use of ethanol-containing fuels. [11][12][13] Direct exhaust emissions of ethanol-fueled engine in Brazilian vehicles have been investigated, and higher mixing ratios of acetaldehyde than formaldehyde have been found. 18 Measurements of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde have been carried out in several Brazilian tunnels located in different urban centers (Table 3), but a comparison between those carbonyl levels is difficult because of the great differences in the number and distribution of vehicles, fuel composition, percentage and type of catalyst-equipped vehicles, etc.…”

“…3 Mixing ratios of volatile hydrocarbons emitted from vehicles inside tunnels of several cities have been reported worldwide. 2,[4][5][6][7] In some urban centers of Brazil, there have been reports on tunnel measurements of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in airborne particles, [8][9][10] gaseous aldehydes, [11][12][13] gaseous carboxylic acids 14 and VOCs. 15 In order to evaluate chemical composition of emissions from vehicles fueled with gasoline blends with ethanol, neat ethanol and diesel, measurements of several VOCs were done in two different urban road tunnels located in São Paulo City, Brazil.…”

“…The higher concentrations indoors and in urban areas are due to the numerous sources of direct emission of this compound. [1][2][3][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Formaldehyde emissions have received a great deal of attention due to their known mutagenic and carcinogenic nature and their toxicity, which is manifested by irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, nausea, headache, tiredness and thirst. 1,6 Although there is no evidence of the carcinogenicity of formaldehyde in humans, the specific effects of continuous exposure on infants, young children and pregnant women have yet to be determined.…”

“…[1][2][3] Formaldehyde, which is present in ambient air at high concentrations, undergoes chemical reactions and physical transformations during its trajectory through the atmosphere. [2][3][4][5] Atmospheric formaldehyde levels may reach concentrations ranges of 0.1-1.8 ppbV in remote areas, 1.2-113 ppbV in urban areas and 2.3-188 ppbV in indoor environments. The higher concentrations indoors and in urban areas are due to the numerous sources of direct emission of this compound.…”
