Objective: The objective of this research was to analyze the environmental impacts of social isolation from the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: An integrative review was carried out, using databases from Google Academic and Scielo, with specific inclusion criteria for selecting scientific articles. Only scientific articles in Portuguese, Brazilians, associated with the central theme of research and published between 2020 and 2023 were selected. The data was analyzed in two stages: reading abstracts and titles, followed by a complete reading of the selected articles. Results and Data Analysis: Four scientific articles were selected that addressed the impacts of social isolation in the pandemic on the environment. The identified studies reported a significant reduction in air and noise pollution, as well as minor impacts on aquatic pollution during the quarantine period. The decrease in human activities was associated with a fall in pollutant emissions, bringing benefits to air quality and public health. However, the transitional nature of these benefits has been highlighted, highlighting the need to rethink consumption and production practices to ensure environmental sustainability. Conclusions: The conclusions highlight the need for effective structural measures to control pollution and promote sustainable habits to ensure lasting environmental benefits in the post-pandemic.
