ResumenSe realiza una caracterización física y química de emisiones proveniente de diferentes tipos de fuentes estacionarias en Santiago de Chile con el propósito de determinar si la forma en que se aplican las medidas de compensación de emisiones es apropiada. El sistema de compensación de emisiones se aplica tradicionalmente a las emisiones másicas. La hipótesis de este trabajo es que el daño a la salud ocasionado por el material particulado depende además de su tamaño y de los elementos químicos que contenga, como lo corroboran los resultados que muestran notables diferencias en la composición química de las emisiones desde distintos tipos de fuentes. Esto indica que la aplicación del sistema actual no es apropiada como herramienta ambiental para el mejoramiento de la calidad del aire de la ciudad. Palabras claves: fuentes estacionarias, compensación de emisiones, caracterización del particuladoAbstract A physico-chemical characterization of emissions from different types of stationary sources in Santiago-Chile was carried out with the purpose of determining if the form in which environmental management policies is well applied. The emission compensation system is currently applied on the basis of total mass emissions. The hypothesis of this work is that damage to health from particulate matter exposure also depends strongly on particulate size and chemical elements as is confirm by the results showing notable differences in chemical composition of the emissions from different source types. This indicates that the application of the current emission compensation system is not an environmental tool appropriated for improving the quality of the air in the city.
