9 Social and environmental effects of sugarcane production in São Paulo 1. Air pollution and respiratory morbidity (Arbex et al. 2000, Lara et al. 2005, Martinelli et al. 2002, Cançado et al. 2006, Almeida 2006). 2. Degradation of aquatic ecosystems (Martinelli et al. 2002). 3. Exploitation of cane-cutters (Rodrigues 2006, Alves 2006). 4. Increased vulnerability to weather and market fluctuations?

10 Sugarcane, fires & respiratory health 1. What are the spatial links between sugarcane cultivation, occurrence of fires, and respiratory health at the state scale? 2. How can we ameliorate the effects of recent expansion in cane cultivation on respiratory health?
