They can be used as a 106 5 foundation to develop more stringent regulations to decrease the exposure of urban population to air 107 pollutants.Acknowledgments 108 We acknowledge CETESB for providing the air pollution and meteorological data through the 109 QUALAR database (https://cetesb.sp.gov.br/ar/qualar/).
