Abstract

CHOEZ, Paola Vallejo; MOYA, Carmen González  and  MORA, Fredy Mena. Referential calculation of particulate matter in the air as a factor of environmental pollution in the urban area of ​​the city of Pujilí. Enfoque UTE [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.2, pp.109-119. ISSN 1390-6542.  https://doi.org/10.29019/enfoqueute.v7n2.99.

This is a preliminary investigation on the environmental quality of the city of Pujilí, made ​​from the collection of samples of particulate matter and vehicular traffic counts on six points of the city. The methodology is based on the provisions of the Unified Text of Secondary Environmental Legislation for measuring atmospheric particulate matter, and the use of count tables for vehicle registration. The results reflect the impact of vehicular traffic, the characteristics of the rolling road layer, soil erosion, and climate on air pollution and its impact on the health of the population.

Keywords : environmental quality; air pollution; pollution; deterioration of the environment; public health..
