Abstract(s)
Este estudo centra-se nas diferenças entre Portugal continental, analisando dados estatísticos oficiais sobre as principais causas de morte do país e importantes emissões de poluentes para a atmosfera. A análise estatística dos dados é realizada à escala municipal, mas também tendo em consideração a densidade populacional nesses territórios, classificando-os como urbanos, semi-urbanos e rurais. Portugal é um país predominantemente rural, mas o impacto das atividades industriais na emissão espacial de poluentes é notório em todas as tipologias territoriais. As emissões de poluentes por área do município demonstram diferenças significativas nos territórios urbanos quando comparados com as zonas rurais, o que é atribuído ao intenso tráfego rodoviário no primeiro. Paralelamente, a análise da ocorrência das principais causas de morte também é significativamente diferente entre territórios urbanos e rurais, sugerindo a associação de poluentes com maiores emissões espaciais a um maior risco de morte.
This study focus on the differences across mainland Portugal analysing official statistical data concerning the main death causes in Portugal and important pollutant emissions to the atmosphere. This data statistical analysis is performed at the municipal scale but takes into account the population density as well territory classification as urban, semi-urban and rural. Portugal is predominantly of rural typology but the impact of industrial activities on the spatial emission of pollutants is notorious across the country. Significant differences in pollutants emissions were found in urban territories when compared with rural zones, a fact that is attributed to intensive road traffic in the former. In parallel, the study of main death causes in Portugal shows that between predominantly urban and rural territories exists a significantly difference, suggesting an association between pollutants with higher spatial emissions to a higher risk of death by specific causes.
