    Abstract This study characterizes carbonyls (RCHO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), their nitrated (nitro-PAHs) and alkylated (alkyl-PAHs) in particulate matter in the exhaust emissions of a diesel engine. The measurements were made with a standard engine, often found in vans used in Brazil, fueled with pure commercial diesel and mixtures of 10, 20, and 30% biodiesel with 2, 4, and 6% of ethanol. Particulate matter sampling was carried out with a 10-stage cascade impactor. Chemical analyses for PAHs and their derivatives were conducted using gas phase chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). RCHO were sampled using impingers with 2,4-DNPH and analyzed using HPLC with UV detection. The results showed that emissions of all the PAHs and their derivatives were reduced with the use of biodiesel and ethanol, with the exception of the blend of 30% biodiesel with 4% ethanol. However, all the RCHO emissions increased with biodiesel and ethanol. High correlations were observed between the emissions of PAHs, alkyl-PAHs and nitro-PAHs, which suggests a similarity in the formation mechanisms of these compounds. All PAHs' emissions have a strong negative correlation with biodiesel content and with RCHO emissions and a medium correlation with ethanol content. In contrast, biodiesel and ethanol with the RCHO emissions lead to a positive correlation coefficient of these compounds which is more pronounced for biodiesel than ethanol.

    Abstract The Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro is the second largest urban and industrial region in Brazil. While the south and south-east areas are affected by vehicular emissions, the districts and cities located in the northern area are subjected to industrial emissions and have the poorest air quality of the region. In this study, BTEX concentrations were determined in the District of Irajá, a residential area located in the north of the city of Rio de Janeiro, approximately 25 km from the industrial zone, as well as in the District of Jardim Primavera, in the city of Duque de Caxias. The mean values for total BTEX concentrations were 38.4 ± 11.7 and 44.6 ± 29.3 μg m

    Abstract This study aims to determine BTEX concentrations in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (MRRJ, Brazil) and evaluate potential health risks of benzene and ethylbenzene exposure based on the collected data, in 2015, the year before the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Samples were collected and analyzed following method TO-15 (U.S.EPA). Toluene was the most abundant compound in all samples (mean concentration 16.72 ± 15.70 µg m

    Abstract Abstract In early childhood, air pollution leads to an increased risk of disease, premature death, and development of disruptions. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is considered the classical pollutant of major concern. However, in Brazil, fine particulate monitoring is still limited and restricted to a few cities. Particularly, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, only one automatic station obtains PM2.5 concentrations and publishes the air quality indexes daily. This study is part of the project “Clean air for a good start” managed by the Horizon Citizen Foundation, with the goal of obtaining evidence to set a plan to reduce children exposition to air pollution. Data is shared on a global web platform. Results showed that PM2.5 levels are high when compared with WHO guidelines and coordinated actions would be needed to decrease emissions of primary pollutants and secondary aerosol’s precursors.

    Abstract The Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro is the second largest urban and industrial region in Brazil. While the south and south-east areas are affected by vehicular emissions, the districts and cities located in the northern area are subjected to industrial emissions and have the poorest air quality of the region. In this study, BTEX concentrations were determined in the District of Irajá, a residential area located in the north of the city of Rio de Janeiro, approximately 25 km from the industrial zone, as well as in the District of Jardim Primavera, in the city of Duque de Caxias. The mean values for total BTEX concentrations were 38.4 ± 11.7 and 44.6 ± 29.3 μg m⁻³, in Irajá and Jardim Primavera, respectively, which are higher than those previously reported for other areas. The benzene/toluene rates, (approximately 0.5 for both sampling sites), were also higher than typical values that were determined for diesel and gasoline emissions through dynamometer experiments.

    Abstract In an urban scenario, one of the air pollutants most harmful to human health and environmental is the particulate matter (PM). Considering that urban green areas can contribute to mitigating the effects of PM, this work compares the concentration of PM₂.₅ in two closer locations in Rio de Janeiro, in order to verify how vegetation cover can actually improve air quality. One is the entrance to the Rebouças Tunnel (RT) and the other is the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden (RJBG). For this purpose, PM₂.₅ samples were taken from September 2017 to March 2018 using a Large Volume Sampler (LVS). The results reveal that RT has a higher concentration of PM₂.₅ in almost all samples. The RJBG obtains concentrations around 33% less than the other area, suggesting that the presence of urban green areas like the RJBG can reduce PM₂.₅ levels when compared to places with less vegetation cover, providing better air quality.
