POLUIÇÃO DO AR NO BAIRRO CENTRO DE SANTA MARIA/RS: variáveis geourbanas e geoecológicas (air pollution for particulate matter in the centro district of Santa Maria/RS: an analysis from geourbans and geocological variables)
Abstract
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a concentração de material particulado nas principais ruas e avenidas do bairro Centro de Santa Maria/RS, relacionando, como variáveis de influência, as condições geoecológicas e a estrutura urbana local. A metodologia de pesquisa caracterizou-se pela elaboração de um zoneamento ambiental do bairro Centro com enfoque na qualidade do ar. Posteriormente, realizou-se a medição das concentrações de material particulado, em trabalho de campo e dados secundários referentes ao material particulado inalável extraídos da FEPAM/RS. A terceira etapa consistiu no cruzamento dos dados de material particulado com o mapa de zoneamento, com vistas a estabelecer possíveis correlações e, também, testar a eficácia do zoneamento ambiental no que se refere à qualidade do ar. A última etapa consistiu na análise e cruzamento dos dados referentes às concentrações de material particulado e a sucessão habitual dos tipos de tempo em Santa Maria/RS.

ABSTRACT
The goal of this research was to verify the concentration of particulate matter in the principals’ streets and avenues of Centro district of Santa Maria city/RS, making an association between geoecological conditions and the local urban structure. The research methodology was characterized for the environmental zoning’s elaboration in the Centro district with focus on the air’s quality. Lately, an investigation of particulate matter was made, using field work and secondary data related to inhale particulate matter, consulted in FEPAM/RS. The third stage consists in an intersection between particulate matter’s data and the zoning map, with the intention of establish possible correlations and test the environmental zoning’s efficiencies. The last stage consists in analyses of the datas intersectioned relative to particulate matter concentrations suitable with the environmental zoning.

RESUMEN
La meta de esta investigación fue verificar la concentración de material particulado en las calles y avenidas principales de barrio Centro de Santa Maria - RS, mientras haciendo una asociación entre las condiciones geoecológicas y la estructura urbana local. La metodología de la investigación se caracterizó en la elaboración de un zoneamiento medioambiental en el barrio Centro con el enfoque de la calidad del aire. Mas adelante, una investigación de material particulado fue hecho, mientras a usando el trabajo del campo y los datos secundarios de material particulado compilados en FEPAM/RS. La tercera fase consistió en una intersección entre los datos de materia particulado y lo zoneamiento, con la intención de establezca las posibles correlaciones y pruebe las eficacias de la división en zonas medioambientales. La última fase consistió en las análisis y cruzamientos de las concentraciones con la división en zonas medioambientales.
