Abstract
As researchers, our role often involves identifying and highlighting flaws and obsolescence in environmental policies. However, it is equally important to acknowledge and commend notable advancements, regardless of political affiliations. One such advancement is the recent implementation of Brazil's National Air Quality Policy (PNQAr), officially unveiled at a prestigious event on June 27, 2024, in Brasília.1 This event marked an important moment in Brazil's environmental policy, offering clarity and direction in the nation's approach to air quality management.
