Recently, a new national policy was implemented to encourage the production and use of ethanol fuel. While on the one hand the emission of renewable carbon is desirable, on the other, the emission of ethanol derivate increases the toxicity of the atmosphere, and enhances the ozone formation potential, one of the main public health problems in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. Although…
Atmospheric emissions from sugarcane producing regions are rapidly changing in the State of São Paulo. On the one hand, foliage burning is decreasing, reducing emission from biomass burning; on the other hand, the growing use of agricultural machinery is likely to increase the emissions from soil re-suspension. Because aerosol emissions and their chemical composition are undergoing fast m…

Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) from biomass burning is often associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. Among the organic compounds, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have received special attention due to their high toxicity. Retene, which is not included in the 16 priority PAHs list of US-EPA, had a potential adverse effect on human lung cells, …
The high use of ethanol fuel in Brazil leads to an atmosphere particularly rich in alcohols and aldehydes, especially in large urban areas. With the perspective of second generation ethanol production, automotive emissions associated with the use of this fuel are expected to increase, affecting the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere and public health. Acetaldehyde and formaldehyde have …
This project proposes to conduct a detailed study of the chemical speciation of atmospheric aerossols from three different Brazilian ecosystems: the Amazon rainforest, the Atlantic rainforest, and a region in the State of São Paulo where sugar cane plantation and processing is dominant. Our intention is to complement symbiotically three other projects that are underway in these regions. W…

There is an increasing demand of ethanol fuel due to the need to minimize the dependence on oil and diminish greenhouse gases emissions to the atmosphere. Currently almost half the Brazilian light duty fuel is ethanol. This percentage will almost certainly increase in the future with the projected production of cellulosic ethanol in Brazil. From 2005 to 2010, the generation of ethanol has…
