The purpose of the present work was to study the concentration variations in O3, NO, NO2, NOX over a 4–year period (2006–2009), using the Kolmogorov–Zurbenko filter. Data were decomposed into seasonal and trend components. Seasonal component of the time–series analysis (2006–2009) of NO and NOx in Canoas and Esteio showed values above average during the cold seasons, while O3 showed an opposite pattern. The trend component was marked by the decrease of NO2 at Canoas and the increase of NO at Esteio, thus revealing their variation (NO and NOX) due to local emissions. Furthermore, evaluations of the mean daily concentrations of NO, NOX, NO2, O3, PM10 and CO, and correlations of these pollutants with meteorological parameters (ambient temperature, wind velocity, solar radiation and relative humidity) allowed the confirmation of the influence of mobile sources in the study area.
