Atmospheric pollution is an environmental problem that causes harmful effects, both in the short and long term, generating, therefore, constant concern for managers around the world. This study aimed to verify both the behavior trend in the concentration of inhalable particulate matter (PM10) and the effectiveness of public policies in the search for the reduction and control of this pollutant. Two municipalities in the state of São Paulo, with distinct characteristics of development, industrialization, and urban expansion were used as case studies. Data from the city of Marília (between 2009 and 2020) and the city of Paulínia (between 2002 and 2020) were collected from the QUALAR platform, of the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB) and treated with the Openair package, to R Software. It was possible to verify that winter and spring had higher PM10 concentrations when compared to other seasons, as well as to show that its concentration was much lower on weekends. The data regarding the concentrations of PM10 in the cities of Marília and Paulínia, when compared to State Decree 59.113, indicated that, as of 2013, the concentrations of this pollutant showed considerable reductions, most likely related to actions and practices of public policies and by the performance of the state environmental agency. In order to reach the new WHO guidelines, it is suggested that new measures are adopted.
