Plano de monitoramento da qualidade do ar como ferramenta para a gestão ambiental e avaliação de impacto socioambiental aplicado a uma indústria cimenteira

Abstract

The displacement and destination of environmental pollutants are aspects to be considered when determining their impacts. Substances considered pollutants almost always originate in the atmosphere and have the ability to travel through the air, soil and water. Those that tend to be transported by the atmosphere are considered volatile, including those that are in the gaseous state under normal ambient conditions, such as Nitric Oxide and Carbon Monoxide, in addition to Volatile and Semivolatile Organic Compounds. As a science focused on the study of all matter, chemistry plays an important role in understanding and preserving the environment, and the scientific practice of safer, more environmentally friendly chemistry is called green chemistry. One of the developments of green chemistry is the study of pollution in different spheres of the environment, paying special attention to the fate and transport of chemicals in the atmosphere. With industrial development, there is a need to evaluate atmospheric pollutants in more detail and the processes that these pollutants go through, in a joint activity with environmental management. Considering that most industrial chemical processes release pollutants into the atmosphere, this work presents a model document for an air quality monitoring plan as a tool for environmental management and socio-environmental impact assessment applied to a cement industry.
