Buíque's air quality reflects the Pernambuco semi-arid Sertão interior at 770 metres near the Vale do Catimbau National Park, with vehicle emissions from the PE-270 and surrounding cattle, sisal, and subsistence farming contributing local sources. The Borborema plateau creates topographic variation, while drought conditions and Caatinga burning contribute seasonal PM10 elevation throughout the dry season and the elevated plateau position aids dispersal compared to the lowland semi-arid regions throughout the year.
