Abstract

Este trabalho apresenta uma discussão sobre as emissões veiculares de poluentes nos grandes centros urbanos, assim como uma breve análise das políticas públicas adotadas no Brasil que causam impacto nestas emissões. Além disso, é apresentada uma metodologia de cálculo das emissões relativas de gases de efeito estufa com base nas emissões unitárias médias dos veículos automotores e na matriz modal de deslocamentos, bem como se discute a participação das principais fontes veiculares nas emissões dos principais poluentes locais nos centros urbanos brasileiros. Fica claro pelos resultados apresentados que, além das políticas tradicionais de controle das emissões unitárias, políticas de incentivo do uso do transporte público coletivo em detrimento ao uso do transporte individual são fundamentais para reduzir o volume de poluentes jogados na atmosfera das maiores cidades. This paper discusses vehicles emissions of pollutants in great urban centers and it makes a brief analysis of adopted public policies in Brazil which have an impact those emissions. Moreover, a methodology to calculate the relative emissions of greenhouse gases is presented on the basis of the unitary average emission of vehicles and the travel modal matrix. We also present the main sources vehicle in the emissions of local pollutants in Brazilian urban centers. We conclude that, beyond traditional policies of control of the unitary emissions, policies of incentive of use of the mass public transport in detriment to the use of the individual transport are basic to reduce the volume of pollutants in the atmosphere of the large cities.
