Avaliação Da Influência Das Condições Meteorológicas Em Dias Com Altas Concentrações De Material Particulado Na Região Metropolitana Do Rio De Janeiro

In the Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro, high levels of particulate matter concentrations (PM10) with violations of the limits established by CONAMA Resolution 03/90 are routinely recorded. Analyzing data recorded between 1998 and 2008, 146 days with concentrations above these values were identified. In those days, it was possible to verify the influence of South Atlantic Subtropical Anticyclone, the lack of precipitation and temperature inversions in the lower troposphere, which confirm the strong relationship between high PM10 concentration and the atmospheric conditions in region. © 2016, ABES - Associacao Brasileira de Engenharia Sanitaria e Ambiental.
