Abreu e Lima's air quality reflects the northern Pernambuco metropolitan coastal corridor adjacent to Recife, with vehicle emissions from the BR-408 and the surrounding Polo Petroquímico de Suape's petrochemical industrial expansion northward contributing elevated industrial and vehicle PM2.5. Atlantic trade winds from the Pernambuco coast provide general background ventilation, while the growing petrochemical and industrial development drives increasing local emissions throughout the year.
