Cabo Frio's air quality benefits from consistent Atlantic sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along the Rio de Janeiro state Costa do Sol resort coastline. Vehicle traffic and seasonal tourism are the primary local sources, while the Lagoa Araruama's salt evaporation contributes distinctive local aerosols and the coastal position generally maintains good baseline conditions.
