Resumo:
Desde el marco teórico del riesgo ambiental, el presente artículo aborda la gestión de la calidad del aire en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires en relación con los impactos actuales y potenciales de los gases tóxicos y del cambio climático global sobre la salud de la población. Se vinculó información sobre gestión histórica y actual del aire con los resultados del proyecto de investigación South American Emissions, Megacities and Climate (financiado por el Inter American Institute for Climate Change Research entre los años 2009 y 2011) para evaluar peligrosidad, exposición, vulnerabilidad e incertidumbre como dimensiones del riesgo. Al contextualizar las políticas públicas desarrolladas en las últimas décadas sobre este tema, fue posible identificar configuraciones de riesgo y de incertidumbres emergentes, amplificadoras de la vulnerabilidad social. Por una parte se confirmó que existe una correlación positiva entre la mortalidad, los cambios en la temperatura y en la contaminación del aire. Por otra se constató la desvinculación entre la gestión de la calidad del aire y la gestión de salud, a la vez que se encontraron limitaciones en las medidas de mitigación propuestas en relación a las emisiones de gases efecto invernadero producidas por los combustibles, señalando las incertidumbres respecto a su eficacia.

Abstract:
From the theoretical framework of environmental risk, this article discusses the management of air quality in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in relation to current and potential impacts of toxic gases and global climate change on population’s health. Information on historical and current management was linked to the results of the research project South American Emissions, Megacities and Climate (funded by the Inter American Institute for Climate Change Research between 2009 and 2011) to assess hazard, exposure, vulnerability and uncertainty as dimensions of risk. By contextualizing public policies developed in recent decades on this subject, it was possible to identify emerging configurations of risk and uncertainties, as amplifiers of social vulnerability. On the one hand it was confirmed that there is a positive correlation between mortality, changes in temperature and air pollution. On the other hand it became clear the separation between the air quality management and the health one, while limitations were found in the proposed mitigation measures relating to emissions of greenhouse gases produced by fuel, noting the uncertainties for their efficacy.
