Abstract(s)
A necessidade de implementação de ações de mitigação de emissões de
poluentes atmosféricos e de redução de concentrações de poluentes para
a população e meio envolvente requer uma análise temporal da evolução de
emissões, concentrações e indicadores representativos de efeitos na saúde
potencialmente associados à poluição atmosférica. Foi possível realizar uma
análise comparativa entre 2009 e 2015 considerando a distribuição geográfica
no território continental português, abordando: as emissões de poluentes
óxidos de azoto (NOx), óxidos de enxofre (SOx), metano (CH4 ), dióxido
de carbono (CO2 ), amoníaco (NH3 ), partículas suspensas no ar com diâmetro
aerodinâmico inferior a 10 μm (PM10), partículas suspensas no ar com
diâmetro aerodinâmico inferior a 2.5 μm (PM2.5); as concentrações médias
anuais dos principais poluentes SO2 , NO2 , ozono (O3 ), PM10 e PM2.5; e indicadores
de saúde pública (número de mortes por causa definida, potencialmente
associada à poluição atmosférica). Relativamente aos efeitos na
saúde, observaram-se diferentes tendências em cada causa de morte associada,
e identificaram-se as regiões Norte, Centro e Lisboa como as mais
afetadas. As diferenças registadas podem ser analisadas como evidências
de existências de fatores externos que condicionam e determinam as variações
do número de mortes registado de ano para ano nas diferentes regiões.
The need to implement actions to mitigate emissions of atmospheric pollutants and to reduce concentrations of pollutants to the population and the environment requires a temporal analysis of the evolution of emissions, concentrations and indicators representing health ef fects potentially associated with air pollution. It was possible to carr y out a comparative analysis between 2009 and 2015 considering the geographical distribution in the Por tuguese mainland, addressing pollutant emissions nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), methane (CH4 ), carbon dioxide (CO2 ), ammonia (NH3 ), inhalable coarse par ticles with a diameter of 10 μm or less (PM10), fine par ticles with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5), the annual average concentrations of the main pollutants (SO2 , NO2 , O3 , PM10, PM2.5); and public health indicators (number of deaths due to defined cause, potentially associated with air pollution). Regarding the health ef fects, it was obser ved that dif ferent trends are presented in each associated cause of death, being able to identif y the zones of Nor th, Center and Lisbon as the most af fected in these causes of death. The dif ferences recorded can be analy zed as evidence of existences of ex ternal factors that determine the variations in the number of deaths recorded from year to year in dif ferent regions.
