“…Comparable levels were found in Monterey (4 million residents), Mexico 52 , Córdoba (1.3 million inhabitants), Argentina 53 , Lecce (95,000 inhabitants), Italy 54 , and Frankfurt, Germany (730,000 inhabitants in the city and 2.3 million in the urban region 14 ). The source of these emissions was mainly assigned to traffic, leading us to discern that the primary source of the emissions in Curitiba is traffic related.…”

Limited studies have reported on in-vitro analysis of PM2.5 but as far as the authors are aware, bioaccessibility of PM2.5 in artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF) has not been linked to urban development models before. The Brazilian cities Manaus (Amazon) and Curitiba (South region) have different geographical locations, climates, and urban development strategies. Manaus drives its industrialization using the free trade zone policy and Curitiba adopted a services centered economy driven by sustainability. Therefore, these two cities were used to illustrate the influence that these different models have on PM2.5 in vitro profile. We compared PM2.5 mass concentrations and the average total elemental and bioaccessible profiles for Cu, Cr, Mn, and Pb. The total average elemental concentrations followed Mn > Pb > Cu > Cr in Manaus and Pb > Mn > Cu > Cr in Curitiba. Mn had the lowest solubility while Cu showed the highest bioaccessibility (100%) and was significantly higher in Curitiba than Manaus. Cr and Pb had higher bioaccessibility in Manaus than Curitiba. Despite similar mass concentrations, the public health risk in Manaus was higher than in Curitiba indicating that the free trade zone had a profound effect on the emission levels and sources of airborne PM. These findings illustrate the importance of adopting sustainable air quality strategies in urban planning.

“…In contrast, in South America, where the ENSO has the opposite effect on PM2.5 concentration, the concentrations of PM2.5 in Argentina during La Niña years (drought) were higher than in El Niño years (wet). This increase has been attributed to forest fires [15]. This paper investigates the impact of forest fire and the atmospheric stability on the PM2.5 concentration in Pontianak, West Kalimantan.…”

Pontianak is the capital city of West Kalimantan province, which is affected by forest fires, especially forests on peatlands that also burn peat. The forest and peatland fires produce a lot of smoke-content particulates because of incomplete combustion of underground biomass. This paper investigates the PM2.5 concentration in 2021 coinciding with moderate La Nina when the effect of a short dry season does not support the occurrence of fires. PM2.5 concentration is analyzed by considering the air quality standard, atmospheric stability, and hotspot account observed by the SNPP satellite in the area with a radius of less than 0.5, 1 and 2. Analysis of the hotspot counts shows a good relationship with the dry season pattern in equatorial rainfall-type regions. Forest fires at locations less than 0.5 and strong inversion layers created heavy pollution in Pontianak, where the air environment is at dangerous levels, with daily concentrations exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and WHO air quality guidelines. Seasonal analysis shows a very high concentration difference in day and night in the December, January Febturay (DJF) and March, April, May (MAM) periods. This is related to the inversion event at 07:00, where there were many double inversions during the DJF and MAM periods, namely surface inversion and subsidence inversion, causing particulate matter to settle on the earth's surface.

“…Os íons inorgânicos solúveis em água são alguns dos principais componentes do material particulado fino, normalmente compõem uma grande fração de sua massa (LANZACO et al, 2017). Estudos já mostraram a relação entre as espécies iônicas no aerossol e efeitos de redução da visibilidade atmosférica, além da influência sobre formação de nuvens (LEE; SEQUEIRA, 2002;JUNG et al, 2009;CHENG et al, 2011).…”

Me aproximo dois passos, ela se afasta dois passos. Caminho dez passos, e o horizonte corre dez passos. Por mais que eu caminhe, jamais alcançarei. Para que serve a utopia?

M. Molecular characterization and occurrence of PAHs, oxy-, nitro-PAHs, inorganic ions and biomass burning tracers in three Latin American urban sites. 2018. (173 p.). PhD Thesis -Graduate Program in Chemistry.The particulate matter in the fine and inhalable fractions (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) collected in three Latin American cities (São Paulo, Brazil; Lima, Peru; and Medellín, Colombia) was chemically analysed in order to investigate the sources of atmospheric pollution and related health risks. In São Paulo, a year-round extensive campaign (2014) was conducted at the University of São Paulo campus (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) . Intensive campaigns were performed in São Paulo (2010, 2013 and 2014) and in Lima and Medellín (2010). The species such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organic and inorganic ions and the monosaccharides were determined by chromatographic techniques. The carbonaceous species (organic and elemental carbon) were determined by thermal-optical analysis. Trace elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The associated risks to particulate matter exposure based on PAH concentrations were assessed with the indexes benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (BaPE) and lung cancer risk (LCR). In 2010, PM 10 average concentration was higher in São Paulo than in the other two sites; 75 % of the samples presented concentrations ...
