Coronel Fabriciano's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the Usiminas steel complex in the Vale do Aço corridor of eastern Minas Gerais, generating elevated PM10, SO₂, and heavy metals alongside vehicle traffic on the BR-381. The Rio Doce valley's topographic enclosure between the Espinhaço and Mantiqueira ranges concentrates industrial emissions under calm conditions, making this steel valley one of Brazil's most industrially impacted urban air quality corridors.
