Castanhal's air quality reflects its position in the Pará lowland at the gateway to the northeastern Amazon region, with vehicle emissions from the BR-316 and the surrounding mixed agricultural and urban growth of this major Belém metropolitan satellite contributing local sources. Atlantic equatorial airflows generally provide background ventilation, while dry season burning from surrounding Pará Amazon deforestation generates intense PM2.5 episodes between July and November that dominate the regional air quality across the entire northeastern Pará corridor during the burning season.
