This article aims to evaluate the scientific rigor of online videos on air pollution, broadcast on the YouTube platform and published in Portuguese and Spanish in 2014. This research was carried out in collaboration with 17 scientists from Brazil and Spain who evaluated the scientific rigor of a sample of 100 videos, 50 in Spanish and 50 in Portuguese. The results show that, according to scientists, those videos about air pollution that have been published in Youtube, either in Spanish or Portuguese, have a low level of scientific rigor.

Keywords : Scientific rigor; air pollution; online video; Youtube.
