Canoas' air quality is significantly influenced by its position as one of Porto Alegre's most industrialised northern satellite municipalities, with the Alberto Pasqualini oil refinery and surrounding petrochemical and manufacturing complex generating elevated SO₂ and PM2.5 alongside heavy traffic on the BR-116. The flat Guaíba river plain provides limited dispersal barriers, and Canoas' industrial concentration makes it one of the greater Porto Alegre metropolitan area's more polluted municipalities.
