Abstract: In early March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic, and in late March 2020 partial lockdown was ordered by the São Paulo state government. The aim of this study was to assess impacts on air quality in São Paulo – Brazil, during the partial lockdown implemented to provide social distancing required due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have analyzed data from four air quality stations in São Paulo, Brazil to assess air pollutant concentration variations during the partial lockdown. Data were compared to the five-year monthly mean and to the four-week before the partial lockdown. Overall, drastic reductions on NO (up to −77.3%), NO2 (up to −54.3%), and CO (up to −64.8%) concentrations were observed in the urban area during partial lockdown compared to the five-year monthly mean. By contrast, an increase of approximately 30% in ozone concentrations was observed in urban areas highly influenced by vehicle traffic, probably related to nitrogen monoxide decreases. Although the partial lockdown has contributed to a positive impact on air quality, it is important to take into account the negative impacts on social aspects, considering the deaths caused by COVID-19 and also the dramatic economic effects.

Abstract: This is a review of studies about the misunderstandings of Behavior Analysis and the strategies adopted to overcome them. Fifteen studies were selected from the PsycInfo, PubMed and BVS databases, from the collections Sobre Comportamento e Cognição and Comportamento em Foco, and two studies were added. The analyzed studies showed the existence of imprecise concepts in teaching materials to train psychologists and pedagogues and in the national popular media, which put on limits on dissemination of Behavior Analysis. Studies were also found that successfully taught the concepts of Behavior Analysis to professionals in areas who can benefit from behavioral technology in their practice. The need for greater publicity of strategies that have been shown to be adequate for a proper understanding of the assumptions, principles and concepts of Behavior Analysis is discussed.
