Air pollution is related to negative impacts mainly on people with Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRD), reflecting on respiratory health, reduced physical performance and so on. The objective was to investigate the influence of meteorological and air quality variables on the functional capacity of patients with CRD. This was a descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study of information collection in a database from 2016 to 2019. For the analysis of environmental variables, three different databases were used, one from the automatic air quality monitoring station in Novo Hamburgo, and the weather stations of Novo Hamburgo and Campo Bom (RS). The monitored data were: NO2, CO, O3, PM10, PM2,5, average temperature, minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, average wind speed and relative humidity. The sample consisted of 85 individuals from the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (PRP), where the variables spirometry and six-minute walk test (6MWT) were collected. It was observed that the higher the concentration of PM10 and the higher the minimum temperature, the lower the spirometric results. Furthermore, the greater the concentration of PM2.5, the shorter the distance that the individual travels. A relationship was found between environmental data and functional tests, where individuals with CRD are more sensitive to high levels of air pollutants, as well as to lower temperatures.

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
