“…The city is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro and is located on the western shore of Guanabara Bay. Its climatic condition is Atlantic tropical (Aw), characterized by being megathermal, with an average annual temperature of 16°C, and a dry season from April to September (Bezerra et al, 2018). The city is divided by the Tijuca Massif in the southern and northern regions.…”

This study aims to assess the COVID-19 partial lockdown influence on air quality in the Metropolitan Region Rio de Janeiro (MRRJ). Criteria pollutants (CO, SO2, O3, and NO2) sampled at four sites under vehicular and industrial influences were investigated, between March 1st to April 12th, 2019 and 2020. Results showed that the partial lockdown affected pollutant levels through emission sources reduction. High decreased concentrations were observed for SO2, NO2, and CO; while an increase in the ozone concentration was recorded. Pollutant time variation evaluations helped to understand the trend and sources in the different periods. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a influência do lockdown parcial da COVID-19 na qualidade do ar na Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). Poluentes de critérios (CO, SO2, O3 e NO2) amostrados em quatro locais sob influências veiculares e industriais foram investigados, entre 1º de março e 12 de abril de 2019 e 2020. Os resultados mostraram que o bloqueio parcial afetou os níveis de poluentes por meio da redução das fontes de emissão. Reduções nas concentrações de SO2, NO2 e CO foram registradas; enquanto um aumento na concentração de ozônio foi observado. As avaliações da variação temporal dos poluentes ajudaram a entender a tendência e as fontes nos diferentes períodos.

“…The works include the construction of new streets and tunnels, closing off some avenues, new BRT, and VLT lines, among others. All of these changes have affected air quality in the region as reported in some studies (Bezerra et al, 2018;De La Cruz et al, 2019;Godoy et al, 2018;Gomes et al, 2018;Justo et al, 2020;Tsuruta et al, 2018;.…”
