Abstract

The proposal developed in this project aims to promote, through news and reports in eMagazine ComCiência and other media, research and extension work developed by National Institute of Integrated Analysis of Environmental Risk, based at the University of São Paulo. Content production is guided by studies that discuss the effects of air pollution on the health of inhabitants of large cities, especially São Paulo, and other interdisciplinary studies that complement this theme, either in the organization of urban space, either in advancing research with new forms of energy and reducing emissions. As a result of research and journalistic disclosure, we hope to contribute to the greater range of knowledge about the impacts of pollution on population health, especially in big cities or in working directly with polluted environments.
