• Abstract:

  Atmospheric pollution, a major environmental problem today, is not only linked to industrial processes: fires are also considerable contributors. The fires emit polluting gases into the atmosphere that contribute to the intensification of the greenhouse effect and contribute to Brazil being among the most polluting countries in the world. Among other consequences, there is the destruction of biodiversity and the increase in the incidence of cardiorespiratory diseases. For this work, data were collected in a bibliographic survey focusing on occurrences of fires. The data collected show the state of Mato Grosso with the main percentage of annual fires throughout the Brazilian territory from January 2016 to January 2017 and Brazil as the main country with fire outbreaks in South America. The high number of fires in the national territory can be noticed through the collected data. Fires are still common practices in the national territory, but in view of their consequences, they must present decreasing numbers of occurrences over the years.
