                         48h and 72h forecast lengths were evaluated using measurements 
                         from Osasco and Congonhas monitoring stations of the State 
                         Environmental Company (CETESB). The studied period ranges from May 
                         2012 to December 2015. Annual averages, diurnal and monthly annual 
                         mean cycles were analysed, and results show that CO concentrations 
                         have been decreasing over time, which was not reproduced by the 
                         BRAMS model forecasting. All forecasting lengths represent the 
                         diurnal cycle properly, showing the two concentration peaks of the 
                         rush hours as in observed data. It is possible to conclude that CO 
                         forecasting by the BRAMS model is reliable enough to be 
                         potentially used as a tool to aid population and policymakers on 
                         air quality public policies. More research including other 
                         localities and pollutants are still necessary for a better 
                         evaluation of the BRAMS model.",
