The research adopted a qualitative approach, combining a literature review with a semi-structured questionnaire applied to the Municipal Secretariat of Environment and Water Resources (SEMARH). The results indicate that the primary sources of air pollution are the sugarcane industry and agricultural burning, which lead to air quality degradation, damage to vegetation, and contamination of soil and water. Respiratory problems are the most common health impacts. SEMARH monitors pollution through public complaints, employing educational measures and fines for repeated offenses. However, the absence of regular awareness campaigns about burning was noted. The study recommends creating green areas, strengthening environmental enforcement, and promoting the use of cleaner public transportation, alongside the adoption of renewable energy sources. Environmental education and strict law enforcement are essential to improving the quality of life in the municipality and ensuring a sustainable future.ptMeio AmbientePoluição do Ar"Meio Ambiente e Saúde Pública” e Doenças Respiratórias.Trabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::ECOLOGIA
