“…Diesel exhaust is rich in nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which in the body react with amides to form carcinogenic nitroamine compounds. As with most epidemiological studies, it is difficult to establish a firm causal link between a specific pollutant and adverse human health effects (Klingenberg and Winneke, 1990). Attempts to fingerprint diesel-emitted smoke in the ambient atmosphere have been problematic, for unlike petrol which has/had lead as an environmental tracer, no compound can be assigned uniquely to diesel derived smoke (Daisy et al, 1986).…”

“…Os altos índices de material particulado que são emitidos durante a combustão dos derivados estão relacionados diretamente com problemas respiratórios, assim como componentes nitrogenados, aromáticos e sulfurados se relacionam a doenças cancerígenas. 4,5 Além disso, a presença de compostos nitrogenados e de enxofre está relacionada com emissões de SO x e NO x , responsáveis por alguns efeitos globais, tais como as chuvas ácidas e a destruição da camada de ozônio.…”

Recebido em 22/10/10; aceito em 10/3/11; publicado na web em 5/5/11 CURRENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OF GTL TECHNOLOGY AND PERSPECTIVES FOR BRAZIL. Although the production of liquid fuels from coal, natural gas (CTL and GTL processes) and other carbon sources has been discovered 90 years ago, the interest was renewed in the last years motivated by stranded gas reserves and by petroleum market instability. This review intends to show the scenario of these technologies nowadays, discussing the applied technologies, the steps in an industrial plant, the ways to produce syngas and liquid fuels, the catalysts used, the type of reactors and the operating plants with their respective capacities, besides the technical, economical and environmental viability, challenges and perspectives for Brazil.

“…There is increasing evidence that emissions of particulate matter (PM) from diesel vehicles may have an adverse effect on humans (Bradow, 1982;McClellan, 1987;Westerholm & Egebäck, 1994;Ichinose et al, 1995;Frew & Salvi, 1997;Carraro et al, 1997), but a direct link to speci c diseases or mortality has not yet been established (Klingenberg & Winneke, 1990;Scheepers & Bos, 1992). While there has been considerable experimentation in the laboratory, along with epidemiological investigations, unresolved questions remain as to how diesel vehicles operating in real-world settings actually affect general public health.…”

During 1996 and 1997, a number of light-and heavy-duty diesel vehicles were recruited in the Denver metropolitan area and subjected to emissions testing, principally for the purposes of assessing on-road particulate emissions. Little if any comparable data had been collected at altitude, particularly from heavy-duty vehicles. When these data were statistically examined using the technique of analysis of variance, they were shown both to exceed the federal standards, on average, and to be highly variable. These findings suggest that typically reported average values of vehicular PM emissions are not sufficient to be used, by themselves, to estimate contamination levels and associated public health risk. The situation is exacerbated in studies involving small numbers of vehicles, which is typical when diesel vehicles are involved, since not all sources of variation can be simultaneously controlled. Precise knowledge of the amount of particulates emitted by diesel vehicles in actual daily use is important because of present government strategies designed to promote the use of diesel as a transportation fuel.
