“…The heavy duty vehicles that are on average more than ten years old contribute to urban ultrafine particles, which are linked to adverse respiratory problems (Nel et al, 2006). Previous studies in São Paulo, showed health effects, mainly during episodes of sugarcane burning in surrounding regions of the city (Carvalho-Oliveira et al, 2005;Umbuzeiro et al, 2008).…”

Atmospheric particulate matter samples (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) were collected at urban sites (São Paulo, SPA; Piracicaba, PRB) in São Paulo State, Brazil. In order to characterize the chemical composition of particulate matter, several chemical components were analyzed from the samples, and among these were inorganic and organic anions, monosaccharide anhydrides, and organic and elemental carbon. Long-range transport of the particulate matter while sugar cane was being burned contributed to an increase in PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations at the SPA site. Sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, elemental carbon and particulate organic material (POM) were major components of the total PM 2.5 and PM 2.5-10 . The contribution of POM to PM 2.5 at PRB was 29%, similar to the results found for the winter season at the SPA site.The Cl -/Na + ratio at the SPA site for PM 2.5 was different from that at the other site, with chloride depletion indicating several sources beyond sea salt. The occurrence of levoglucosan and its correlations with potassium confirm the contribution of local biomass burning (at PRB) and long-range transported particles at SPA. OC/EC ratios and the correlation coefficients indicated secondary formation of OC at both sites.

“…Therefore, this option by road mass transport is reaching its limits, because it presents clear signs of saturation, which has been generating serious socio-political crisis in Brazil. The air pollution in large cities is another worrying factor due to the heavy use of road transport, which is seriously impacting population health [23]- [25] [31]- [38].…”
