Abstract

Os problemas ocasionados pela poluição do ar em razão das queimadas existentes dentro e fora do Estado do Acre têm causado sérios prejuízos à saúde da população. Como as queimadas provocam malefícios à sociedade, a mensuração do valor monetário esta está disposta a pagar para diminuir esses impactos constitui importante informação para avaliar se um projeto de despoluição é viável economicamente. De forma geral, objetivou-se analisar os impactos da poluição do ar pelas queimadas sobre a sociedade acreana. Especificamente, a) determinar quanto a sociedade está disposta a pagar pela diminuição dos malefícios ocasionados pelas queimadas; e b) comparar o valor da disposição a pagar (DAP) agregada com o custo das morbidades respiratórias ocasionados pelas queimadas no ano de 2004. A teoria das externalidades foi utilizada para referenciar este trabalho. A partir de referendum with follow-up, estimou-se o valor dos benefícios da melhoria da qualidade do ar no Estado do Acre, cujos resultados indicaram que cada dólar aplicado em despesas de internações ocasionadas por morbidades respiratórias à melhoria do ar acarreta um benefício de R$ 21,08, o que representa que a melhoria dessa característica ambiental é viável economicamente. Por fim, o valor máximo que a sociedade se dispõe a contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade do ar no estado do Acre pode ser utilizado para o financiamento de projetos de desenvolvimento de tecnologia e extensão rural que possibilitem criar condições objetivas para o produtor rural incorporar em seu processo de produção agropecuária práticas alternativas às queimadas no preparo do solo. -------------------------------------------The problems occasioned by air pollution as a function of burned over lands in and out of Acre state cause grave injuries to population health. Since the burned over lands cause damages to society, the monetary value mensuration which the same is willing-to-pay to diminish their impacts constitutes an important information to evaluate whether a depollution project is economically feasible. In genereal way, this research seeked to examine the impacts that the ar polluition for fire vegetation owns about Acrean society. Specifically, a) to determine how much society is willingness-to-pay for the decrease in the injuries caused by burned over lands, and b) to compare the aggregated willingness-to-pay (WTP) value with the cost of the respiratory morbidity occasioned by the burned over lands for the year 2004. The externalities theory was utilized to reference this work. The referendum with follow-up was utilized to estimation the benefit for depollution of air of the Acre state. The results show that the dollar applied in internments expenditures for respiratory morbidity aiming at air bettering occasions an benefit of R$ 21,08, what represents that the improvement of this environmental characteristic is economically feasible. At last, the value that society disposes to contribute for air improvement in Acre state can be utilized to finance the development of technologies and rural extension projects and that make possible to create objective conditions to the rural producer to incorporate in his productive process an alternative practice to burned over lands in the soil prepare for the agropecuary production process.
