| Sumario: | With population growth, economic development and the increase of motorized fleet, the pollution sources without proper control are making worse the quality of the environment. The increase of the current vehicles fleet in Santa Maria de Jetibá has contributed to raising the concentration of pollutants in the city atmosphere. In this context, this study aimed to conduct a study of emissions from leakage of light motor vehicles in the municipality of Santa Maria de Jetibá - ES in 2009. The methodology was based on methods for the preparation of vehicle emissions inventories of the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States and the Primeiro Inventário Nacional de Emissões Atmosférica por Veículos Automotores Rodoviários prepared by Ministério do Meio Ambiente. From the results of this research, there is a considerable reduction in pollutant emissions under study since 1990. This decrease can be attributed to the suitability of vehicle manufacturing technologies and due to the implementation of Law number 8723 of October 28, 1993, laying down detailed rules for the issuance of automotive pollutants. |
