Análisis de mediciones de calidad de aire en San Carlos de Bariloche

Abstract

Environmental pollution is currently one of the most important environmental risks to people's health, because exposure to pollutants can cause cardiovascular disease, cancer; in addition to the development of respiratory diseases. The main objective of this work includes the analysis of air quality measurements acquired with the Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Station (EMCCA) located in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche. This fixed station continuously records meteorological variables, particulate matter and polluting gases. As a result of the work, a concentration pattern of different species that fit a typical urban environment with two peak hours has been found, where the main source is vehicular transport. It is important to bear in mind that the data obtained cannot be used to establish air quality regulations.
