RESUMO

This paper intends to introduce a methodology to analyze the insertion of a Thermal Power Plant (TPP ) within a planning environmental phase from the viewpoint of air pollution impact, focusing the regional ambiance. The prediction methodology indicates the first regional condition estimative, as an alternative to the monitoring conventional one, mainly in region without information. Based on available data basis information and preliminary analysis of the region affected by the TPP, the local pollutants are estimated (background pollution). The source emission rates are calculated through emission factors while the air quality is obtained by using a dispersion model. The impact of the new TPP is added to the model to evaluate the emission growth. The predictive and dispersion model for NOx is synthesized and applied in a case study that considers Paulínia region in State of São Paulo.
