Environmental problems have worsened and air pollution is growing to frightening levels. Recent studies show that air pollution causes cardiovascular (CVD), cerebrovascular (CVA), respiratory and other problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in ten deaths is caused by atmospheric contamination. This work aims to demonstrate how smart cities can influence air quality monitoring in Brazil and minimize this problem. From the point of view of Vormittag et al. (2021), the work carried out by monitoring stations is unsatisfactory, does not reach all states, and the data collected is not transmitted in real time. This information is lost and the reports issued end up not taking into account the reality of atmospheric air. With the growing concern for sustainability, Smart Cities present themselves as a possible solution to solve various problems, in an intelligent way, and make the world more sustainable. A study developed by Souza (2018) demonstrates how Smart Cities can function as a data repository. These data, properly collected and analyzed, can identify abnormalities and serve as a basis for solving environmental problems. Regarding the limitations of this work, it can be mentioned that it was not possible to carry out a more in-depth investigation of the monitoring network installations, nor to verify whether the policies and standards are being established and respected. This greater detail requires the involvement of many public and private organizations, in addition to covering several states. These issues could be developed as a topic for future work. For this work, the qualitative method was used, with bibliographic research.
