Monitoramento da qualidade do ar em áreas de movimentação pública do aeroporto de Londrina - Governador José Richa (SBLO), Paraná, Brasil: análise da legislação brasileira

Abstract

Air quality has been the subject of analysis in several studies, as it is directly related to respiratory health. An important point, defined as indoor air, is the air of closed or semi-closed locations, public or private, such as shopping malls, commercial buildings and airports. When it comes to buildings that provide an environment with large crowds of people, it is important to check some aspects in order to guarantee a good air quality. However, an indoor air quality (IAQ) considered adequate to meet reference standards is not easy to obtain, as most of these places depend on artificial refrigeration to maintain thermal comfort, resulting in almost no exchange with the outside air. In Brazil there is a Resolution (9, from ANVISA, of January 16, 2003), which aims to guarantee an acceptable indoor air quality. This study analyzed the monitoring of indoor air quality in areas of public movement at the Londrina Airport - Governador José Richa (SBLO), focusing on the Brazilian Legislation analysis based on semiannual data from 2017 to 2019. The research centered on the INFRAERO available data analysis with compliance verification of national legislation. The results indicate a satisfactory QAI for SBLO, and are close to those of other national airports. When comparing the requirements of ANVISA 9/2003 legislation to that of other countries, it is noted the necessity to find mechanisms to expand our studies and, thus, promote discussions to update Brazilian legislation, aiming at improvements to guarantee the health of the people who circulate there.
