Air pollution, Air Quality, CAL3QHC, I-Tree Canopy, AracajuAbstract
Emissions of pollutants from high-traffic density have become a potential source of air pollution in cities. Based on simulations with the atmospheric dispersion model (CAL3QHC), concentrations of MP10 maximum up to 120 μg m-3in the central area of Aracaju were found, which violates the national standards and, therefore, with possible harmful effects on human health. It has been shown that the reduction of 60% volume of automobile in the roadways congested can reduce the concentrations of MP10 up to 70 μg m-3as well as the trees increasing of 9% can remove 16.8 kg annual MP10 with the economic benefit of R$ 390.00, using the I-Tree Canopy tool. The simulated results can be an important source of support for policies and practices in the implementing denser air quality monitoring in the city.
