Mapeamento da distribuição de Dióxido de Nitrogênio na cidade de Manaus

Abstract

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a toxic gas and contributed to the environmental impact. This work showed an evaluation of the levels and distribution of NO2 in Manaus by passive technique of sampling. Twenty points were distributed in strategic points in the city. The NO2 varied from 4,56 ± 1,29 to 22,48 ± 3,91 μg m-3 in 2006. The largest values were found at places of great flow of vehicles. The minimum value were found at Marina Tauá (place with little urban influence). The method detection limit observed was (0,37 ± 0,26 μg m-3).
