We seek to fill gaps to help plan efficient public policies to improve the quality of the air that the RMSP breathes.
The QUALARIA Project aims to bring more innovation to the RMSP and meet public demands for Air Quality
Collaboration with society
Development of the Project with the help of people and institutions related to the topic of Air Quality. If you or your institution are interested in collaborating with usplease contact-email amanda@meteoia.com
Air Quality and Health
Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental risks to human health, alongside climate change
2019: 99% of the world's population lived in regions where WHO Air Quality Standards were not met
It causes 7 million deaths and results in the loss of millions of healthy years of life
Improving air quality can boost efforts to mitigate climate change.

Air Quality in the RMSP
39 municipalities, 21,946,318 inhabitants* and a fleet of 7,093,993 vehicles (47% of the state) (CETESB, 2023)
It is a critical area in terms of air pollution in the state of São Paulo (CETESB, 2023)
