Resumo

POLLUTION OF KARTING CIRCUITS.In this work, noise and aromatic hydrocarbons levels of indoor and outdoor karting circuits located in Rio de Janeiro were assessed.The sampling was perfomed using active charcoal cartridges, followed by solvent desorption and analysis by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection.This study demonstrated that the karting circuits, venues for entertainment, were a major source of air pollution with the detection of considerable amounts of these compounds (2.0 to 19.7 µg m -3 of benzene; 4.1 to 41.1 µg m -3 of toluene; 2.8 to 36.2 µg m -3 of ethylbenzene; 0.7 to 36.2 µg m -3 of xylenes) and high noise levels.
