This study focused on verifying whether the emission of air pollutants in São Paulo increases the costs and number of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases in Brazil. Data on pollutant emissions, hospitalizations, and hospital costs were collected from 2008 to 2017 and correlated with air quality standards. The results showed that the concentra...

In Brazil the main destination of municipal solid waste is controlled and sanitary landfills, although a considerable part is still sent to open-air deposits better known as dumps. Whatever the destination of these wastes (landfills or dumps), a constant monitoring of these areas is necessary due to the generation of liquid and gaseous effluents th...

Pharmaceutical industry growth and incorrect disposal of medicines are major problems, especially in large cities. The lack of commitment of the responsible bodies to manage pharmaceutical waste and a population awareness plan characterize a public health problem as well as serious environmental damage. The effects caused to the environment are man...

The Brazilian Petroleum Regulatory Agency (ANP) regulates the use of biodiesel in fuel oil throughout Brazil. Current laws require that from 2017, diesel oil must contain 8% biodiesel (i.e., B8). In fact, the bus fleets of some Brazilian regions already use the B20 blend (20% biodiesel) as fuel. The objective of this work was to analyse the costs a...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article “Environmental and techno-economic considerations on biodiesel production from waste frying oil in São Paulo city” (Silva Filho et al., 2018) [1]. This article presents the variation of the concentration of waste frying oil (WFO) with the reaction time and temperature during the...

Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradable fuel that reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. However, the use of food oils in biodiesel production is severely criticised because its impacts on food prices, increase in crop area and deforestation. Thus, the production of biodiesel from non-food sources should be encouraged. This stu...

This work was done to dry of maize malt (Zea mays) by a infrared dryer in order to generate a derivative of high commercial value beer industry, and try to add value to maize culture. Models of drying curves were used to simulate the drying isotherms at 45, 55 and 65°C. From this maize malt a beer has been obtained and its sensorial qualities were...

This work aimed to produce a biodiesel from oils used in restaurants of São Paulo, Brazil, to discover the power production city and to demonstrate its economical feasibility. For this, it has been researched in the Brazilian market sales prices of glycerin, carbon credit, biodiesel and diesel blend, well as well, the amount of B20 blend (70.1 103...

The aim of the present study was to produce biodiesel from mixtures of cooking oil and provide a possible environmental solution for the region of Campinas (state of São Paulo, Brazil) based on the theory of environmental cost accounting (ECA). Cooking oil collected from homes in Campinas was mixed with ethanol at a ratio of 7:1 and transesterified...

A utilização da radiação ionizante apresenta acentuado crescimento em razão dos avanços tecnológicos em prol da humanidade, embora esses avanços nem sempre venham seguidos de normas ou treinamento para segurança das pessoas que estão expostas ou trabalham com essa fonte de energia. Este trabalho aborda a radiação ionizante e seus limites de exposiç...

A proposta, neste trabalho, é apresentar os principais efeitos fisiológicos da corrente elétrica no corpo humano: choque elétrico. Inicia-se com a apresentação de conceitos básicos da energia elétrica, necessários, como base teórica, ao desenvolvimento do tema. Na seqüência, apresentamos uma exposição da fisiologia dos principais efeitos causados a...

The use of the ionizing radiation presents an accented growth in function of the technological advances in favor of the humanity. Although this advance not always comes followed of norms or training in security of the people involved, in this work the ionizing radiation and its limits of exposition are analyzed. The study was based on the Norms of...
