Caetité's air quality reflects the Bahia western highlands at 874 metres in the Chapada Diamantina southern edge, with vehicle emissions from the BR-030 and surrounding uranium mining, wind energy, and cattle ranching contributing local sources. The elevated highland position aids background dispersal, while drought and Caatinga burning contribute seasonal variation, and the uranium mining and wind farm operations represent the most distinctive industrial air quality influences in this sparsely populated highland region throughout the year.
