A abordagem das escolas sobre a poluição do ar no contexto da educação ambiental: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

Working on environmental education in science classes is an opportunity to train citizens who are able to better understand environmental issues, their causes and consequences. When exposed to high levels of air pollution, they may experience breathing difficulties such as asthma. They are also able to identify common sources of pollution, such as factories, vehicles and fires. The aim of this work is to better understand the approach to air pollution in schools in the context of education. The research is qualitative in nature as it will be carried out by means of a bibliographical review using academic data, such as articles, monographs or books, to find scientific articles, dissertations, theses and other relevant material on the subject. Related keywords will be used, such as "schools", "air pollution", "environmental education", among other discussions presented by the authors. Science classes can become the perfect environment for discussing and implementing actions that deal with issues related to the environment, especially air pollution and its damage to health, mainly due to the lack of information and education on the subject. It is therefore essential that the approach to environmental education in schools includes air pollution as a central theme, providing knowledge and concepts related to this problem. In addition, it is essential to encourage the active participation of students in projects and initiatives aimed at reducing air pollution.
