The impact of long-term weather changes on air quality in Brazil
Abstract
In this study, we estimate the weather-related increases in ambient air pollution (CO, NO2, SO2, O3 and PM2.5) in Brazil between 2003 and 2018. The impact of long-term weather changes on each air pollutant was defined as “weather penalty”. Overall, ambient air pollution levels in Brazil during the period 2003–2018 have decreased in most of the Brazilian regions. We estimated significant trends in meteorological variables, indicating an increase …
