Nowadays exist a lot discussion about global warming.
Independent if it is provoke by man or not, there is no doubt that is a very important
topic.
In a general way people are talking about actions to eliminated or reduce the causes of
this global warning, like the compounds that produce this problem ( CO2, methane, etc.)
Again there is no doubt that is very important to discuss the causes of global warming,
but we really believe that we must to also discuss what to do with the consequences of
this very serious and global problem.
On September 30 , 2009 ABEPPOLAR - Brazilian Association of Ecology and
Prevention of Pollution, promoted the III National Meeting for Global Warning and Civil
Defense and from this event we have he following points:
• Civil Defense coordinator from the State of Rio de Janeiro mentioned that in his
experience the impact and frequency of disaster provoked by rain ( flood and slide of
land) have been increasing in the last years and in a general way Civil Defense is not
prepared for this new situation;
• IUAPPA Director mentioned that independent what we did with the causes of global
warming, the benefits will came only after 2050. That means we need to learn and to be
prepared to global warming consequences.
On October 19 , 2009 the newspaper Gazeta do Povo ( one of the most important
newspaper of the State of Paraná), published “ In the areas of the State of Paraná, affected
by the strong rains of the lasts days, we have Civil Defense only in paper” In the same
article is mentioned that in the state of Paraná in 301 cities search, 203 or 70 % have
Civil Defense only in paper.
In this presentation we will discuss the importance, situation and future actions related
with the consequences of global warming in Brazil.

The atmospheric particles emitted by anthropological sources constitute a major concern
for human health. The observable effects are dependent on the particle size. Several
particle size categories have been defined for regulatory purpose. The most used
particulate matter (PM) categories include total suspended particles (TSP), particles less
than 10 µm diameter (PM10) and less than 2.5 µm diameter (PM2.5).
The environmental policies try to implement numerous actions to reduce the emissions of
particles. The agricultural sector is a considerable contributor to PM emissions, which is
also not well characterised. Particles of different size and composition are emitted from
both animal and crop production. In Europe, although a reduction of PM emissions is
