Will technological modernization for power generation at an oil refinery diminish the risks from air pollution to the Atlantic Rainforest in Cubatão, SE Brazil?

Ryegrass cv. Lema and guava cv. Paluma biomonitoring suitability for estimating nutritional contamination risks under seasonal climate in Southeastern Brazil

“…4). These tendencies observed in U2 site may be associated with emissions of particulate matter containing these elements from the petrochemical industries and traffic of vehicles (Conti et al, 2009;Lehndorff and Schwark, 2010;Calvo et al, 2013;Nakazato et al, 2015). However, K enrichment in guava leaves suggested absence of contamination risk (degree I) even during the dry seasons.…”

“…Some studies using ryegrass cv. Lema also highlighted its usefulness as a bioaccumulator in tropical regions (Klumpp and Klumpp, 1994;Klumpp et al, 1996;Domingos et al, 1998;Sandrin et al, 2008;Rinaldi et al, 2012;Nakazato et al, 2015).…”

Vegetation Response to Climate Change and Air Pollution – Unifying Research and Evidence from Northern and Southern Hemisphere

“…The latter response is concluded to be a favorable CO 2 effect in view of the plants' anti-herbivore capacity. The other study from Brazil demonstrates means of surveilling sulfuric, nitric and heavy-metal emissions from a technologically novel thermoelectric power plant during the stage of assuming operation (Nakazato et al, 2014). Assessed was foliar element accumulation in Lolium multiflorum as a risk indicator, supporting conclusions about the Atlantic Rainforest.…”

“…The focus on forests and other woodyplant ecosystems in Brazil (e.g. on Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests and Cerrado vegetation) was crucial, given their critical role in global carbon storage and buffering of atmospheric CO 2 enrichment with associated risks of climate warming and drought exacerbation (Pan et al, 2011).…”

Controle preditivo do tipo finite control set aplicado ao conversor elevador de um sistema fotovoltaico com operação em frequência constante.

“…O município de Cubatão abriga um dos maiores complexos industriais da América latina, com cerca de 23 indústrias de grande porte, incluindo de fertilizantes, químicas, refinarias de petróleo e aço totalizando 110 unidades de produção e cerca de 260 fontes de emissão de poluentes aéreos, entre os quais destacam-se poluentes orgânicos, material particulado, compostos de nitrogênio e enxofre e poluentes secundários, como o ozônio e o nitrato de peroxiacetila (CETESB, 2018). Na década de 1990 e nos anos 2000 sofreu diversos impactos por poluentes (Nakazato et al, 2015). Por isso a região foi intensamente estudada por meio de programas de biomonitoramento (Esposito et.…”
