“…São Paulo and other major cities in Brazil, the atmospheric oxidation of ethanol produces acetaldehyde, which is also emitted directly by vehicles that use ethanol 29 and ethanolgasoline mixtures. Ambient levels of acetaldehyde have been measured in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro 30 and are high when compared to those of other urban areas of the world that do not use ethanol as a fuel. In turn, the oxidation of acetaldehyde, including that resulting from the use of ethanol-fueled vehicles, leads to PAN which has been measured in Rio de Janeiro 31 and is currently being measured in Porto Alegre 32 .…”

“…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.…”

“…There is a considerable variability in the aldehyde and carboxylic acid distribution when they are measured at different urban areas. 11,17 In most of the measurements carried out in urban areas, formaldehyde levels are generally higher than acetaldehyde levels. However, formaldehyde/ acetaldehyde ratios from Brazil are normally low due to the substantial use of ethanol-containing fuels.…”

“…Although significant, few are the studies related to atmospheric pollution in Brazil. These researches, most related to the effects of traffic, have been basically carried out in large metropolis such as São Paulo, 5,6 Rio de Janeiro, [7][8][9][10][11] Porto Alegre, 12,13 Salvador 14 and in the Amazonian region. 15 There are few studies concerning industrial areas.…”
