GreenCities is a new multidisciplinary partnership between the UK and Brazil. The collaboration focuses on key knowledge gaps in our understanding of how urban greenspace provides cooling in humid tropical regions. It builds on world-leading Brazilian expertise in urban eddy covariance monitoring and UK expertise in ecosystem services modelling and citizen science engagement. This partner…
Air is a vital resource on the planet and today is threatened by high levels of pollution caused in part by anthropogenic activities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor air quality causes 1 in 10 deaths globally; 7 million people die every year due to diseases caused by pollution. In addition, it is also a contributing factor to climate change, specifically global warm…
The air pollution in mega cities across the world is worsening due to the growth of population and associated economic activities such as traffic and industrial production. Even cities in the US and Europe are experiencing hazardous air environment in a significant fraction of a year, despite major regulation put into place by the regional and local governments in the last few decades. Th…

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…
Chemical composition, size, and emission sources of atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) are directly related to the generation of toxic health responses, such as oxidative stress that is assessed by the oxidative potential (PO), i.e., a measure of the biological responses caused by exposure to PM. In addition, exposure to PM may lead to the development of problems in several organs, espec…
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…
Cities suffer from large emissions of pollutants that also have a climate impact. The Metroclima project aims to study the role of the city of São Paulo as an emitter of GHGs and other climate impact compounds, with the establishment of measurement and atmospheric modeling stations. This project, which is part of the FAPESP Metroclima theme, aims to study the behavior of CO2 in the urban …
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…

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…
Nowadays there are very few studies related to the characterization of biological components present in the particulate matter (PM) of the atmospheric aerosols. The biogenic components of the PM can have a direct relationship with the outbreak of respiratory diseases and can also be linked to changes in climate processes. Studies indicate that spores of fungi are one of the major biologic…
