A partir da institui??o do Programa Nacional de Controle da Qualidade do Ar - PRONAR, em 1989 e mais recentemente, em 2009, com a concep??o do Plano Nacional de Qualidade do Ar - PNQA, surgiram novas perspectivas focadas na redu??o desses agravos que, dentre elas, cita-se a melhora da qualidade do ar em interiores climatizados artificialmente, visando ? maximiza??o do conforto ambiental e efetividade na minimiza??o de preju?zos ? sa?de da coletividade. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar, em ambientes acad?micos, em que medida os teores de CO, CO2, umidade relativa e temperatura do ar, est?o em conformidade com as normas e se atendem aos padr?es estabelecidos pela Pol?tica Nacional do Meio Ambiente - PNMA e seus instrumentos. O referencial tem como base os aportes te?ricos propostos por Satish et al. (2012), Mesquita e Ara?jo (2006), instrumentos da pol?tica Nacional do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA, 1981), PRONAR (1989) e ANVISA (2003). Trata-se de uma pesquisa explorat?rio-descritiva. Procedeu-se medi??es e coletou-se dados em salas de aula, escolhidas aleatoriamente nos setores de aula I, II, III e IV, dos Centros do Campus Central, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Aplicou-se tamb?m question?rio com perguntas abertas e fechadas, preconizado pela ABNT NBR 16401-3/2008. Sobre os ?ndices da qualidade do ar - IQA, a metodologia utilizada foi desenvolvida pela Ag?ncia de Prote??o Ambiental dos Estados Unidos da Am?rica - EPA. Por fim, a partir da an?lise empreendida com refer?ncia ao par?metro relativo ao CO2 e ao compar?-lo com os par?metros legais, postos pelo Programa Nacional de Controle da Qualidade do Ar - PRONAR e Agencia Nacional de Vigil?ncia Sanit?ria - ANVISA, ficou evidenciado que, nos ambientes acad?micos da UFRN, ora pesquisados, os teores de CO2 est?o al?m dos limites legais, ou, dito de outra forma, n?o est?o em conformidade com os padr?es estabelecidos pelas normas vigentes no pa?s. / The grievances of the atmospheric pollution at great Brazilian cities are old events, known and recurrent. Currently, they have been one of the main points of importance amongst the scientific community. From the establishment of the National Program of Control of the Quality of Air - PRONAR, in 1989 and more recently, in 2009, with the conception of the National Plan of Quality of the Air - PNQA, new perspectives have arised, focused on the reduction of these grievances, including the improvement of the quality of artificially air-conditioned indoor air, aiming to maximize the ambient comfort and effectiveness and minimize the damages to the collective health. The present research has the objective of identifying, in academic environments, if the contents of CO, CO2, relative humidity and temperature of the air are in accordance with the norms and if they obey the standards established for the National Politics of Environment - PNMA and its instruments. The theoretical framework has its basis on the contribution of Satish et al. (2012), Mesquita e Ara?jo (2006), instruments of the National politics of the Environment (CONAMA, 1981), PRONAR (1989) and ANVISA (2003). This is a descriptive exploratory research. Measurements and collection of data were made in classrooms that were randomly chosen amongst the class sectors I, II, III and IV of the Central Campus, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. A questionnaire with open and closed questions recommended by ABNT NBR 16401-3/2008 was also applied. As to the air quality index - IQA, the used methodology was developed by the Agency of Ambient Protection of the United States of America - EPA. Lastly, about the concentration of CO2 on the surveyed academic environments, it was concluded that these concentrations are beyond the limits established by the present regulations in the country and the standards established by the instruments of National Environmental Policy-PNMA.
