Air quality modeling in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil: A review.

Numerous studies have used air quality models to estimate pollutant concentrations in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) by using different inputs and assumptions. Our objectives are to summarize these studies, compare their performance, configurations, and inputs, and recommend areas of further research. We examined 29 air quality modeling studies that focused on ozone (O) and fine particulate matter (PM) performed over the MASP, published from 2001 to 2023.
