Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Saúde Pública (FSP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Chemical Engineering from the Faculty of Industrial Engineering FEI of PUCSP (1970), graduated in Sanitary Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1977), Master of Science in Hygiene / Air Pollution - University of Pittsburgh, USA (1974), doctorate and free-teaching in Public Health / Environmental Health by the University of São Paulo (1993 and 2006). Assistant Professor (1987-1993), Professor Doctor (1993-2006), Associate Professor (2006-2008), Full Professor (2008-2014) and Senior Collaborating Professor (2014-2024) at the University of São Paulo. He has experience in the area of Environmental Engineering / Sanitary Engineering, with an emphasis on air pollution, and public health, acting mainly on the following topics: Technologies for the control of air pollution, toxic pollutants, air monitoring, industrial ventilation and environmental management. Conducts studies and research on toxic substances (persistent organic pollutants - POPs, especially dioxins and furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - PAHs, and metals).

Dioxins, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls are pollutants with wide impact potential for human health, including increase of cancer incidence, neurodevelopmental effects, dermal lesions and hormonal disorders. Recently, the outdoor air pollution was classified as carcinogenic to humans, by WHO; it shows the importance of the characterization of atmosphere. Objectives: To verify the equ…
The Plan of Implementation of the Technical Reserve Institution, for the year 2014, involves the board of the Unit, the Department of Nutrition and Department of Epidemiology and the Research Commission as the project manager. The application of funds will be made in increasing the capacity of the electrical current cabin unit and 62% use the money in improving the Department of Nutrition…

Dioxins, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls are toxic pollutants for human health including risks of cancer incidence , neurodevelopmental effects, dermal lesions, chloracne. These compounds are persistent organic pollutants that can be transported to long distances from the emission source and they are bioaccumulated in ecosystems. Objective: To determine the equivalent toxicity of th…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the concentrations of ozone and cane agribusiness in Araraquara, SP. Significant concentrations of this substance in the troposphere show intense photochemical activity due to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight. Samples of atmospheric air in Araraquara, SP, will be col…
Passive and active air sampling were carried out in 2014 and 2015 for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins(PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like Polychlorinated Biphenyls (dl-PCBs) at three sites in São Paulo, Brazil, covering urban, rural and industrial sites. The project is progressing well, however there is a lack of information for the new POPs (Persistent Organic…
