2. Maringá has always been a very wooded city, but recently the older trees are being cut down and the process of relocating these trees is not following the retreats, causing the city to be full of cut trees. What has been increasing the amount of islands of heat in the city. In a study conducted at noon on a sunny day, with an ambient temperature of 27°C, the asphalt reached 62.5°C in areas without shade. Where there was afforestation, the soil was at 26.5°C. 3. One of the solutions would be to reduce the emission of atmospheric pollutants, however hard it may be, to make the population aware of the importance of this reduction. He would plant more trees and preserve the green areas. Another solution for mitigating the effects of urban heat islands would involve the use of less heat-building construction materials and construction methods such as green roofs and buildings using light colors. Dark surfaces such as asphalt absorb more electromagnetic radiation. 4. The city's managers are very concerned about the afforestation of the streets and the maintenance of parks that are also very wooded. In relation to pollution, the only measure is the improvement of public transport so that the population reduces the use of individual cars, thus reducing the pollution caused by cars.
