About
Regina Maura de Miranda is an atmospheric chemist whose research focuses on the complex interactions between air pollution, aerosols, and photochemical processes in urban environments, particularly in the megacity of São Paulo, Brazil. Her pioneering work, including the highly cited 2005 study "Preliminary studies of the effect of aerosols on nitrogen dioxide photolysis rates in the city of São Paulo, Brazil," has been instrumental in revealing how particulate matter alters the photolysis rates of key pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, thereby influencing ozone formation and overall air quality. With over a decade of contributions, her research provides critical insights into the feedback loops between aerosol loading and atmospheric reactivity, helping to refine models that predict pollution dynamics in tropical urban settings. Her studies, which have garnered significant attention from the scientific community (with her most cited paper accumulating 12 citations), underscore the importance of local, observation-based data for understanding global atmospheric chemistry. De Miranda’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in urban air pollution, aerosol-radiation interactions, and the unique challenges faced by rapidly industrializing cities in the Global South.
