Estimativa da emissão de poluentes pelo setor de transporte e análise das ocorrências de doenças respiratórias na área de proteção ambiental do Sistema Cantareira / Estimation of pollutant emissions by sector and transport analysis of respiratory diseases in the area of environmental protection System Cantareira

The global energy matrix is mainly composed by fossil fuels which when burned release air pollutants that affect the environment and human health. In this sense, monitoring health problems related to air pollution is important because it reinforces the need for change in national and international energy policies. This thesis presents a discussion on air pollution caused by transport and its influence on human health, with the study area of the Highways Dom Pedro I (SP-065) built in the late 60th and the duplication of the Highway Fernão Dias (BR -381) from the 90 s. Thus, the general objective of this study was to estimate emissions of pollutants generated by the transportation sector on those Highways and verify the possible impacts of these emissions on the health of people living in APA Cantareira from 1998 to 2007. To conduct this study, we used the method Bottom-up that allows the identification and quantification of greenhouse gas emissions separately, facilitating the study of policies and projects designed to reduce those emissions. Was also carried out the observation and data analysis of hospital admission for respiratory diseases of the seven counties of the APA Cantareira collected in DATASUS. This study has been developed due to the heavy flow of cars and trucks on the highways and also because the majority of hospitalizations in the municipalities of the APA is above the average state of Sao Paulo. This Master s thesis in Energy Systems Planning (PSEFEM), University of Campinas had the financial support from the FAPESP, through a scholarship (process n.2009/04871- 0)
