Extreme heat events are closely associated with poor air quality, particularly elevated levels of fine particles (PM2.5) and ozone. These interconnected climate factors negatively impact human health, increasing morbidity and mortality. Kidneys, due to their role in maintaining homeostasis are particularly vulnerable to extreme temperatures. In fact extreme temperatures are associated wit…
The Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) in Brazil has reduced its vehicular emissions in the last decades. However, it is still affected by air pollution events, mainly in the winter, characterized as a dry season. The chemical composition of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was studied in the MASP during a 100¿d dry period in 2019. PM2.5 samples underwent an extensive chemical character…
Neste projeto solicitamos recursos para a realização da quinta edição da Conferência Internacional CMAS South America, a qual acontecerá na cidade de São Paulo, de 5 a 7 de junho de 2024, de forma presencial. Haverá ainda, como nos eventos anteriores desta conferência, treinamento em modelagem de qualidade do ar. Entre os dias 1 e 4 de junho será oferecido um treinamento com diferentes mo…

Cities are responsible for most of the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In Brazil, the main sources of GHGs are associated with land use and agriculture. However, when considering the energy sector, cities are the main sources, with São Paulo being the largest emitting city. While there are many studies on the formation of short-lived pollutants, there is limited knowledge about the…
Cities are responsible for more than half of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet data on the concentrations of these compounds, especially in cities of the Global South, remain limited. In São Paulo, the largest metropolitan area in the Southern Hemisphere, a greenhouse gas monitoring network was established in 2020 as part of the METROCLIMA thematic project (www.metroclima.iag.usp.br), …
The Southeast region of Brazil is the most developed and populous (about 89.5 million inhabitants) with industrialized areas and metropolitan regions in its four states (São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo), but with problems of air pollution. In Brazil, a large percentage of deaths (71.6%) for the year 2019 due to air pollution is associated with fine particulate m…
Atmospheric aerosols affect air quality and human and ecosystem well-being. In Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo (MASP), Brazil, vehicular emissions and soil dust resuspension are important sources of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2,5), as well as remote sources, such as wildfires, in addition to other indiscriminate sources, such as biogenic emissions and solid fuel combustion. Considering the…
This project aims to be one of the first studies on the estimation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) sources in the city of São Paulo through the determination of the C-13 and C-14 isotopes and their spatio-temporal variation. The CO2 concentration data to be used will come from five measurement points: Pico do Jaraguá, IAG-USP, UNICID, ICESP and CIENTEC, where high-precision continuous…
The METROCLIMA project currently boasts an extensive network for measuring greenhouse gases and aerosols, which necessitates ongoing maintenance and data management. In addition to the primary measurements, supplementary data from atmospheric dynamics and chemistry models, satellites, and radiosondes are also incorporated. The network comprises five stations dispersed throughout the megac…

There is growing concern about the increase in CO2 concentrations, and large cities are responsible for more than half of global CO2 emissions. In this context, monitoring and quantification are essential to understand the sinks and sources of CO2, as well as its contribution to climate change. In response, the present project uses data from the greenhouse gas monitoring network in the la…
The southeastern region of Brazil is the most populated area, covering the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Espiritu Santo. Over the years, these states have been affected by air pollution from local urban sources, transport among areas, and long-range transport. Despite many efforts to control primary emissions for two main sectors (industry and road transport), the…
Particulate matter (PM) presents numerous physical and chemical properties, such as chemical composition, size, and surface area, that may induce various adverse effects on human health. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can oxidize target molecules triggering oxidative stress and systemic inflammation through modulation of epigenetic and metabolic processes, which are suspected to be invol…
Currently, there is a great deal of knowledge about the sources of the inorganic compounds of PM2.5 and PM10 for the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) atmosphere, but few studies have evaluated the contribution of organic sources to the particulate matter (PM), although most of the mass of PM2.5 is composed of organic compounds. The PM2.5 and PM10 are among the pollutants that most im…
