Cruzeiro's air quality reflects the Paraíba do Sul river valley in the São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro industrial corridor, with vehicle emissions from the Via Dutra and surrounding industrial and agribusiness operations contributing local sources. The valley's topographic enclosure between the Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar concentrates industrial and vehicle emissions under calm conditions in this mid-sized Paraíba valley city throughout the year.
