Uno de los mayores problemas que enfrentan las urbes modernas es su crecimiento horizontal en base a cemento y asfalto, cubriendo grandes extensiones. Su resultado es un importante incremento de la temperatura llamado efecto "isla de calor", aspecto de particular importancia en años venideros por el creciente calentamiento global, a lo cual se añade la contaminación por gases y partículas. Las áreas destinadas a mitigar parcialmente estos efectos son los denominados espacios verdes, los cuales representan una mancha en el mapa. Sin embargo, su impacto termodinámico a nivel ambiental desde el punto de vista del confort y calidad de vida humanos puede ser muy variable según como esté diseñado. Este trabajo pretende establecer una metodología de aplicación en cualquier región, para calificar cuantitativamente el valor de los diferentes tipos de espacios verdes como modificadores ambientales, ya sean ejecutados o a nivel de proyecto. A través de esta metodología se determinan índices o coeficientes regionales objetivos y de sencilla aplicación. Para desarrollar estos índices, a los espacios verdes se aplican, adaptados, principios de la termodinámica de superficies húmedas y de la ecofisiología. A través de procedimientos matemáticos y conceptos fisiológicos se concluye en fórmulas para calcular índices regionales de aplicación directa en la evaluación de proyectos. A modo de comprobación de la metodología se determina el valor ambiental comparativo de diferentes tipos de espacios verdes correspondientes al sistema integrado de espacios verdes de la ciudad de Mendoza

The research presented in this article aims to identify and to analyze the cases of environmental conflicts in the microrregião de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brasil. For this were performed data surveys were conducted in the archives of the Ministério Público regarding the municipalities of microrregião in study and a workshop with various social movements of the mesorregião da Zona da Mata. From this survey on we check the conflict established between environmental legislation and farm workers, and also the concentration of the penalty on small cases of violations of environmental legislation. Thus, we conclude that to think about environmental conflicts is require the recognition of inequalities of power and the different types of knowledge and rationalities involved in the appropriation of natural resources by society.

El presente documento analiza y evalúa el ruido ambiental existente en las zonas de uso residencial ubicadas en el Barrio de “La Estación”, en el entorno de la Avenida San Pablo, pertenecientes al municipio de Coslada (Madrid). La zona que contempla el proyecto es muy completa, ya que en ella están presentes diferentes tipos de ruido medioambiental (tráfico ferroviario, tráfico rodado, tráfico aeroportuario, ruido industrial de instalaciones, ruido de actividades, etc), donde las fuentes de ruido pueden manifestarse aisladas o en diversas combinaciones. Para evaluar el ruido total existente, se analiza por un lado el ruido residual de la zona de estudio, y por otro el ruido específico e intermitente asociado a sucesos aislados, como son el ruido de aviones y el ruido de trenes, donde se estudia individualmente la existencia de componentes de tonalidad, baja frecuencia e impulsividad. Una vez obtenidos los niveles de ruido total y ruido residual en la zona objeto de estudio, el índice Nivel de presión sonora promedio LPm de las muestras analizadas, estima correctamente los niveles obtenidos en el muestreo de larga duración. En las medidas realizadas se detecta la existencia de componentes de tonalidad y baja frecuencia en los pasos de aviones y trenes registrados. Se calculan los niveles sonoros existentes en la zona de estudio. Para ello se realiza una evaluación de los índices de ruido Ld, para el periodo día, y Le, para el periodo tarde, utilizando como herramienta de cálculo el programa IMMI 6.3.1e. Se realiza la validación del mapa de niveles sonoros obtenido con el IMMI 6.3.1e. Para ello se hace una comparación entre los niveles calculados con el modelo, y los niveles medidos “in situ” en los puntos de muestreo. Por último se obtiene la incertidumbre en cada una de las medidas ejecutadas en una segunda campaña “in situ”, correspondientes a niveles de presión sonora continuos equivalentes ponderado A (LAeq,5min), teniendo en cuenta las posibles desviaciones ocasionadas por el equipo de medida, condiciones meteorológicas, procedimiento de realización del ensayo, etc. ABSTRACT. The present document analyzes and evaluates the environmental noise in the residential areas located at “La Estación” district, near the San Pablo Avenue, in the Coslada municipality (Madrid). The area considered in this project is very complete, once it covers different types of environmental noise (railway traffic, vehicular traffic, airport traffic, industrial noise of building systems, activities noise, etc), where noise sources may appear isolated or under several combinations. In order to evaluate the existing total noise, on one hand it is analyzed the residual noise in the study area, and on the other hand it is analyzed the specific and intermittent noise associated to isolated occurrences, such as the noise of the aircrafts and the noise of the trains, where the existence of components of tonality, low frequency and impulsiveness is studied individually. After obtaining the levels of total noise and residual noise in the target study area, the sound pressure level average index (LPm) of the analyzed samples estimates correctly the levels obtained in the sampling of long duration. On what concerns the measures carried out, it is detected the existence of components of tonality and low frequency in the registered aircrafts and trains passage. The sound levels of the study area are calculated. For that it is made a valuation of the Ld noise ratio, concerning the day period, and Le, concerning the afternoon period. The calculation tool used is the IMMI 6.3.1e programme. The validation of the map of sound levels obtained with the IMMI 6.3.1e is made. In order to get this validation, it is made a comparison between the levels calculated with the model and the levels measured “in situ” in the sampling points. Finally the uncertainty is obtained in each one of the measurements made in a second sampling “in situ”, correspondent to equivalent A-weighted continuous sound pressure level (LAeq,5 min), having in mind the possible deviations caused by the equipment of measure, meteorological conditions, essay’s execution procedures, etc.

En muchos países el ruido se ha convertido en un gran problema para la salud de la población, no solo en el puesto de trabajo sino también durante la vida cotidiana. Este aumento en la contaminación acústica es producido en gran medida a la industrialización que se ha producido en estos países y a la mayor cercanía entre zonas industriales, zonas de ocio y zonas de descanso. La industria minera es una de las actividades industriales que más pueden contribuir al aumento de la contaminación acústica debido a la naturaleza de las operaciones que se llevan a cabo en las explotaciones. Por ello este documento tiene por objetivo realizar una metodología para la evaluación del ruido ambiental producido por la maquinaria utilizada en las explotaciones a cielo abierto. Además se desarrolla la aplicación de la metodología establecida en un caso práctico determinando el mapa de ruido de una cantera a cielo abierto. Abstract Noise has become a very important problem for human health in many countries, not only in the working place but in daily life as well. This raising in the acoustic pollution is mainly due to the industralization generated in these countries and also to the greater proximity in the industrial, leisure and residential areas. Mining industry is one of the industrial activities that contribute more to the raising of acoustic pollution due to the nature of the works which are taking place in the mining development. That is why the purpose of this project is to develop a methodology to evaluate the enviromental noise produced by the machinery used in surface mining. Also a case study has been developed to apply the methodology described to a surface quarry operation.

A obtenção de etanol a partir de rotas alcoolquímicas consagradas gera resíduos com potencial de aproveitamento, tanto em outros setores produtivos como no ciclo produtivo do próprio combustível. Este é o caso de torta de filtro e vinhaça. A vinhaça em particular costuma ser devolvida ao campo com o intuito de ajustar teores nutricionais do solo no cultivo da cana. No entanto, estudos ambientais destacam que esta alternativa traz efeitos negativos sobre os meios receptores (água e solo), condição que abre a perspectiva para exploração de usos alternativos dessas substâncias. Este estudo se propôs a contribuir para o tema ao avaliar de forma sistêmica o desempenho ambiental de duas alternativas de reaproveitamento de vinhaça: (i) reuso no campo em processos de fertirrigação, alternativa consolidada no Brasil, e (ii) reuso da fração líquida da vinhaça em etapas diversas do processo industrial de obtenção de etanol. Em qualquer das situações fez-se uso da técnica de Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida - ACV para proceder tal verificação. A análise ambiental da prática de reuso de vinhaça e torta para fertirrigação foi conduzida a partir da comparação de cenários que consideraram a forma de suprimento de nutrientes para a cana e o método de colheita. A avaliação de impactos ocorreu em dois níveis: quanto ao consumo de recursos, a partir de Primary Energy Demand (PED); e em termos de emissões para o ambiente por meio da elaboração do Perfil Ambiental. Uma Análise de Sensibilidade foi também realizada para verificar o efeito de oscilações dos teores de Nitrogênio (N), Fósforo (P) e Potássio (K) na composição da vinhaça sobre os resultados obtidos, caso da primeira alternativa. Concluiu-se para esse caso que a substituição parcial de fertilizantes químicos por vinhaça traz aumento da Demanda de Energia Primária global para ambos os métodos de colheita. Em termos de Perfil Ambiental, a comparação entre cenários das mesmas práticas de manejo mostrou que a troca de adubos por vinhaça e torta é positiva para o desempenho ambiental do etanol por reduzir impactos quanto a Mudanças Climáticas (CC), Acidificação Terrestre (TA) e Toxicidade Humana (HT). Por outro lado, o tratamento de vinhaça para reposição de água na etapa industrial resultou em aumento global das contribuições para as categorias acima mencionadas além de incrementos para Eutrofização de água doce (FEut) e Ecotoxicidade de água doce (FEC), a despeito de ser constatada a redução de 45% quanto a Depleção de água (WD). Os aumentos no impacto se deveram principalmente aos efeitos negativos causados durante a produção do CaO usado no processo de tratamento da vinhaça. No entanto, a substituição deste insumo por NaOH só representou melhora em termos de CC. Pode-se concluir que a reutilização de vinhaça e de torta de filtro como complemento nutricional para o cultivo de cana-de-açúcar resultou em uma alternativa mais adequada de reaproveitamento do que o se este fluído fosse reutilizado para suprir parte da demanda hídrica de processo, mesmo quando o consumo de água na etapa industrial tenha inexoravelmente se reduzido a partir da implantação dessa medida.

A busca no aumento da vida útil dos transformadores de distribuição, redução dos custos de manutenção e mitigação de falhas, leva ao desenvolvimento de novos materiais e critérios de exploração diferenciados desses ativos. Esta pesquisa apresenta o desenvolvimento de um novo transformador de distribuição compacto e mais eficiente utilizando óleo vegetal isolante totalmente biodegradável. Além de biodegradável, o óleo vegetal utilizado possui menor agressividade ambiental e maior capacidade térmica aumentando, a capacidade de carregamento do transformador sem comprometer a sua vida útil. A fim de atestar essa menor agressividade em relação ao óleo mineral, ensaios foram efetuados em um equipamento que permaneceu 12 anos em operação. O equipamento foi totalmente desmontado para análise e coleta de amostras de papel e óleo vegetal isolante. As análises visam comprovar a menor agressividade em relação ao óleo mineral, apresentadas na revisão bibliográfica. A menor agressividade torna possível a proposição de uma nova filosofia de planejamento de redes de distribuição utilizando uma quantidade menor dos novos transformadores para uma mesma carga, tornando-a mais compacta e eficiente.

The use of energy from renewable sources is increasingly demanded by society, especially aeolian - whose raw material is wind. Investments in wind power have become significant in Brazil with emphasis on the Northeast and in particular the Rio Grande do Norte state. According to the Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (Energy Research Company) (2012 ) , investments in the state grew significantly since 2002 with a total accumulated power, by 2013, of approximately 3,400 MW . Even with the early experiences of exploitation of wind energy in 2002, it is still considered new and requires further study referring to the likely changes in the environment and society. In this case, it is of growing and urgent importance to deeply study the wind still in the survey phase of the project, ie , at the beginning of decision making on the most feasible to implement these parks site. Given the above, the question is: from a technical and environmental analysis, how to identify viable areas to install Aeolian parks, taking into account the factors of the environmental dynamics that are relevant to minimize the negative results to the environment and the society? Thus, this study conducted a study on technical and environmental feasibility, proposing a methodology of exploration of feasible wind farms in coastal areas. The study area was a fragment of the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte and its natural landscape units were identified through the environmental characterization of the area, as well as it was elaborated the map of the land cover, restriction homes and urban areas and Permanent Preservation Areas - PPAs. The environmental fragility was subdivided in the fragility of the natural dynamic, mapped through relief, soils and geology of natural units, and the fragility of the ecosystem, originated by the land cover map. In addition to these maps, it was generated the wind resource for an area from a height of 50 and 100 meters. The intersection between the fragility maps, PPAs and Restriction of homes superimposed on maps of wind potential, provided the map of feasibility of Aeolian parks, resulting in the most favorable areas for its facilities in a technical and environmental point of view. From this study, the entrepreneur can evaluate whether or not to proceed with the studies in this area and especially decrease potential conflicts with society.

The Potengi River estuary has been affected by various anthropogenic factors over the years, as periodic dredging, industrial and domestic waste, traffic and other factors, causing various environmental disasters, including the notorious ecological accident in July 2007, which covered the municipalities of São Gonçalo do Amarante, Macaíba and Natal. Foraminifera serve as viable study tools in these environments; they are able to identify ecologically stressed environments, pointing out hydrographic changes and depositional environments in estuaries. The necessity to check the differences in environmental gradients in places anthropically impacted in Potengi River and adjacent inner shelf through species of foraminifera, and, the responses of these organisms to physical, chemical and geological factors is to provide baseline in the diagnosis of environments. The results show the dominance of opportunistic Ammonia tepida, Bolivina striatula, Quinqueloculina patagonica and Q. miletti especially in regions close to shrimp farms and Baldo Channel sewage in fine grain environments; and Q. lamarckiana indicates penetration of the saline waters in Potengi River. The occurrence of low-salinity tolerant foraminiferal species typical of mangrove environments as Trochammina inflata and T. squamata in Potengi River Channel suggest they probably could have been transported from mangrove area near the Potengi river mouth to the inner shelf regions. These findings suggest Potengi River is able to export mixohaline and mangrove organisms to inner shelf. Two distinct environments were observed, the outermost area is more influenced by marine influence and the innermost area is less influenced. Calcareous and agglutinated species dominate Potengi River, while mouth and inner shelf areas are dominated by calcareous, agglutinated and porcelaneous species, which are typical of highly saline and hydrodynamic environments and the contributive factors that controls foraminiferal distribution were balance of marine and freshwater currents, grain size, availability of CaCO3 and organic matter.
