Abstract

With population growth, economic development and the increase of motorized fleet, the pollution sources without proper control are making worse the quality of the environment. The increase of the current vehicles fleet in Santa Maria de Jetibá has contributed to raising the concentration of pollutants in the city atmosphere. In this context, this study aimed to conduct a study of emissions from leakage of light motor vehicles in the municipality of Santa Maria de Jetibá - ES in 2009. The methodology was based on methods for the preparation of vehicle emissions inventories of the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States and the Primeiro Inventário Nacional de Emissões Atmosférica por Veículos Automotores Rodoviários prepared by Ministério do Meio Ambiente. From the results of this research, there is a considerable reduction in pollutant emissions under study since 1990. This decrease can be attributed to the suitability of vehicle manufacturing technologies and due to the implementation of Law number 8723 of October 28, 1993, laying down detailed rules for the issuance of automotive pollutants.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
