Análise comparativa da legislação sobre a qualidade do ar nos Estados da regiãoNorte do Brasil

Abstract

Among the different types of pollution identified in the environment, atmospheric pollution has been one of the main topics of interest in the scientific community, given its implication in the quality of human health, ecosystems and built goods. In this context, environmental legislation has the objective of directing rules and norms for the occupation and appropriation of natural resources, and assumes an important role for the preservation of the environment and environmental quality, together with the effective inspection and application of these. The study of state environmental legislation is relevant, as it explains the individual role of states in the context of environmental preservation. The comparison between the legislations makes it possible to identify the limitations of air quality standards, the analysis of the aspects that must be developed and the awareness of human responsibility in the deterioration of air quality. The present work makes a comparison of the environmental legislation of the states of the northern region, namely: Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins, with the objective of analyzing the legislation of air quality in the states of the northern region. Data were collected through bibliographic research, on websites of agencies and secretariats of each state. Data were collected from legislation, making a comparative analysis, observing the similarities and differences of each legislation. Through this comparison, it was noticed that the northern states still have to advance in environmental planning on air quality, since only Acre monitors the state. Other states have a small number of laws that order, implement and manage the environmental issue of air quality within the aforementioned states.
