Abstract:

The polluting gases carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides and particulate materials in the environment are among the main causes of air pollution in Brazil and in the world, in the region of Manacapuru/AM, this type of pollution has been intensifying in dry periods, due to the increase of motor vehicles. The objective of this article was to analyze the concentrations of the pollutants studied and to relate to the precipitation levels, for results indicating interference with the environment on human health. The data obtained were from the Green Ocean Amazon Project (GoAmazon), where it was possible to analyze the monthly concentration of the transition period between the dry and rainy season. Through the percentage of vehicle fleet increase of the last years it was possible to analyze the impacts caused. In addition, a study of the influence of pollutants on the environment was conducted. The results showed that in the dry season the concentration levels are higher compared to the beginning of the rainy season and that what contributes to this concentration increase is the increase of vehicle fleets, causing impacts on the environment.
