Previous studies carried out in the Simões Filho region have shown that the population reports various inconveniences due to the presence of dust, which there are indications comes from industrial and vehicular activities and may consist mainly of particulate matter. Given this scenario, the aim of this study was to carry out dispersion studies, using the AERMOD view and CALRoads view software, to understand the dynamics of the spread of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometres (MP2.5) in the atmosphere of Simões Filho (SF) - BA of vehicular origin, due to traffic on the BR-324 and BA-093 motorways in the municipality studied, and of industrial origin, due to the presence of an Fe-Mn alloy electrosiderurgical industry, in order to predict the possible environmental and community impacts caused by automotive and industrial emissions in the region studied.

This book is an interdisciplinary and accessible guide to environmental physics. It allows readers to gain a more complete understanding of physical process and their interaction with ecological ones underpin important environmental issues.The book covers a wide range of topics within environmental physics, including:¿ natural and anthropogenic canopies, including forests, urban or wavy terrains;¿ the fundamentals of heat transfer;¿ atmospheric flow dynamics;¿ global carbon budget;¿ climate change; and¿ the relevance of biochar as a global carbon sink.Including solved exercises, numerous illustrations and tables, as well as an entire chapter focused on applications, book is of interest to researchers, students and industrial engineers alike.
