Tangara da Serra is located on southwestern Mato Grosso and is found to be on the route of pollutants dispersion originated in the Legal Amazon s deforestation area. This region has also a wide area of sugarcane culture, setting this site quite exposed to atmospheric pollutants. The objective of this work was to evaluate the genotoxicity of three different concentrations of organic particulate matter which was collected from August through December / 2008 in Tangara da Serra, using micronucleus test in Tradescantia pallida (Trad-MCN). The levels of particulate matter less than 10μm (MP10) and black carbon (BC) collected on the Teflon and polycarbonate filters were determined as well. Also, the alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified and quantified on the samples from the burning period by gas chromatography detector with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The results from the analyzing of alkanes indicate an antropic influence. Among the PAHs, the retene was the one found on the higher quantity and it is an indicator of biomass burning. The compounds indene(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(k)fluoranthene were identified on the samples and are considered to be potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic. By using Trad-MCN, it was observed a significant increase on the micronucleus frequency during the burning period, and this fact can be related to the mutagenic PAHs which were found on such extracts. When the period of less burnings is analyzed and compared to the negative control group, it was noted that there was no significant difference on the micronuclei rate. On the other hand, when the higher burning period is analyzed, statistically significant differences were evident. This study showed that the Trad-MCN was sensible and efficient on evaluating the genotoxicity potencial of organic matter from biomass burning, and also, emphasizes the importance of performing a chemical composition analysis in order to achieve a complete diagnosis on environmental risk control

The use of biomass as an energy source has been increasing in Brazil, with emphasis on the use of wood biomass, such as bark, wood chips and sawdust, that after receiving the appropriate treatment can be used in burners for power generation. However, from this burning are emitted fine particles known as particulate matter and a wide range of toxic organic and inorganic components in the form of gases that contribute greatly to air pollution and global warming, affecting human health, the environment and climate. The objective of this project was the quantification of gaseous and particulate, using and evaluating the equipment DR4000 ( Dataram 4 ) sampling of particulates smaller than 2.5μm and EUROTRON ( Ecoline 4000 ) when sampling gaseous pollutants, emitted from the burning of biomass in real time in the firing burner to a chimney attached biomass . We note that there are no specific rules that establish emission limits for particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5μm that are most harmful to human health and the highest concentrations reached about 800000μg/m3, for smaller diameters. It is noticeable the need for sampling of pollutants especially in industries that use biomass to fuel that could be implanted emission control equipment

It is clear today the ever-accelerating search for new fuels that will eventually replace those that will survive in our society, which are fossil fuels. For this reason, a fuel used since the dawn of humanity and much studied since then, considered the generator of clean, renewable energy, can earn more and more space in the power generation sector, which is biomass. We performed two experiments with two different types of biomass, one from the Amazon rainforest and other pine and eucalyptus as waste from the sawmill UNESP Itapeva. In the first experiment, conducted at the Laboratory of Combustion and Propulsion INPE Cachoeira Paulista were conducted three tests in a chimney with a fan creating forced ventilation, where the biomass was burned and deposited on a support beneath the hood. In the second experiment was conducted to analyze the emission of particulate matter using biomass (waste) from the sawmill on the campus of UNESP experimental Itapeva the burning of it in a burner for heating water for a wood oven. In these experiments we used a particle called DATARAM4 sampler that is capable of sampling both outdoors and inside of pipelines, which is the focus of this work. With this equipment it was possible to measure the concentration of particulate matter in all the firings as above, and compare them to levels acceptable in the current law, always trying to analyze the so-called fine particles, which are those with diameters less than 2.5 μm. Using data obtained from the equipment was also possible to evaluate the diametral distribution of particulate matter in question, and verify which phases of the flares in the concentration and the diameters of the particles are the most critical. In this work we concluded that in all firings conducted concentrations of particulate matter were higher than that allowed by the law, and the diameters were found that are more harmful to human health

Atualmente a implantação de qualquer planta industrial que possa gerar impacto ambiental, ou até mesmo adequação de equipamentos já instalados para a não geração de poluentes ou geração dentro de limites adequados, passa cada vez mais por fiscalização rigorosa dos órgãos ambientais. A ventilação industrial tem sido e continua sendo a principal medida de controle efetiva para ambientes de trabalho que contenham dispersão de efluentes gasosos e material particulado de natureza prejudiciais, e baseado neste fato de relevância inegável é que se fundamenta este estudo. Um sistema de tratamento de gases com enfoque em ventilação local exaustora engloba vários equipamentos, e dentre eles o filtro de mangas é considerado um dos principais, pois sua função é a de efetuar a filtração dos gases proporcionando emissões dentro das tolerâncias dos órgãos ambientais, refletindo desta forma o objeto principal deste estudo de caso, a eficiência do equipamento. Especificamente neste estudo apresentam-se dados de eficiência do filtro de mangas em questão, componente de um sistema de desempoeiramento de uma caldeira de queima de resíduos sólidos. Foram utilizados dados coletados em campo em dois pontos do circuito do sistema, entrada do filtro de mangas e descarga de gases limpos, além de análise do elemento filtrante. As coletas e análises foram realizadas de acordo com as normas para a correta aferição dos dados gerados. Os resultados permitiram observar patamares de eficiência de filtração para os resíduos gerados na queima, demonstrando os cuidados a serem tomados no dimensionamento do equipamento para esta aplicação.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da queima na dinâmica da biomassa aérea do estrato herbáceo de um campo nativo do Pantanal com predominância de Andropogon bicornis. A área de estudo foi submetida aos tratamentos sem queima e com queima, ambos sem pastejo. Os dados de biomassa aérea e cobertura do solo foram analisados nos onze meses subseqüentes à queima. A biomassa aérea das áreas com queima apresentou pequeno incremento linear de matéria seca, tornando sua biomassa significativamente menor que a obtida nas áreas sem queima. Andropogon bicornis, Axonopus purpusii e outras espécies apresentaram menor biomassa após a queima, enquanto Mesosetum chaseae foi favorecido pela queima, apresentando maior produção de matéria seca. A ação do fogo removeu praticamente toda a biomassa; a cobertura do solo, trinta dias após a queima, foi de aproximadamente 35%. Somente sete meses depois, a cobertura do solo foi restabelecida, tornando-se semelhante à área sem queima.

O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de cana-de-açúcar, de modo que mudanças no seu manejo podem afetar sobremaneira o ambiente. Há quase um século, as pesquisas são baseadas em áreas sob queima da biomassa foliar (palhada) dessa cultura. Mas a supressão da queimada é um novo conceito no manejo da palhada. Portanto, há poucos resultados sobre o manejo desse material. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar teores de C e N e estabilidade de agregados e densidade do solo nos manejos com queima (Cq) e sem queima (Sq) da palhada. Estudou-se um solo argiloso (Latossolo Vermelho = LVdf) e dois solos arenosos (Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo = PVAd e Neossolo Quartzarênico = RQo) submetidos aos manejos Cq e Sq. Em cada solo foi estabelecida uma área experimental em blocos ao acaso com seis repetições. A quantidade de palhada adicionada em três colheitas foi 40 t ha-1 em matéria seca e, um ano após a terceira colheita, a acumulação foi 4,5 t ha-1 (11 %) no LVdf e 3,6 t ha-1 (9 %) no RQo. Isso representou 1,60 e 1,35 t ha-1 em C e 0,022 e 0,021 t ha-1 em N, respectivamente. Houve aumento no teor de C nos solos Sq, concorrendo em seqüestro de C na camada 0-20 cm de 6,3 e 4,7 t ha-1, respectivamente em LVdf e RQo. Assim, a taxa de seqüestro de C no compartimento cobertura + solo (0-20 cm) foi de 2,63 e 2,02 t ha-1 ano-1 no LVdf e RQo, respectivamente. Também houve aumento no teor de macroagregados em solos Sq comparados a solos Cq: 814 e 693 g kg-1 no LVdf e 516 e 420 g kg-1 no RQo. Ocorreu compactação superficial no PVAd e RQo em decorrência do uso de máquina colhedora em solo Sq. Nos solos estudados, o manejo sem queima da cana-de-açúcar resultou em melhorias nas propriedades dos solos e promoveu seqüestro de C e N na cobertura e nas camadas superficiais dos solos.
