One of Brazilian environmental issue.
Brazil is a big country with different environmental issues. The most talked or is about the air pollution. I’m going to give as an example the city of Sao Paulo. With an estimated population of 11,105,249 residents, Sao Paulo is the most populous city in the Southern hemisphere and in effect of this high population; high air pollution is one of the big problems of Sao Paulo, mainly due because of high car and buses circulation. The industries have a big part in this environmental problem, ton of toxics gases are launched in the air every second, around Sao Paulo city. People are worried about and because of this, few years ago was established the law called “rodizio”, it means every Mondays cars with final plate 1 and 2 cant circulate in the city, Tuesdays plate final 3 and 4, Wednesdays 5 and 6, Thursdays 7 and 8, Fridays 9 and 0, lastly weekends are free. Also cars with high emission of smoke in the air are subjects of fines. For the industries, was established that filters should be placed in the chimney to try to block the most dangerous toxics of being launched in the air.
