There are many sources of air pollution in both urban and non-urban areas. Environmental health indicators can be of particular importance to emphasize the greater vulnerability of certain populations, such as children or the elderly, and to account for it in public policies associated to health and the environment. The article aims at improving information support for environmental health policies and at bringing valid and useful information on Rio de Janeiro about health impacts of environmental hazards for decision-makers. Based on these characteristics, a structure is proposed for the application and managing specific environmental health problems, identifying PM as an urban air pollution indicator.
