Governador Valadares' air quality reflects its position in the Rio Doce valley in eastern Minas Gerais, with vehicle emissions from the BR-116 and the surrounding steel and mining activity in the Vale do Aço corridor contributing elevated PM2.5 and heavy metals. The Rio Doce valley's topographic enclosure between the Espinhaço and Mantiqueira ranges creates concentration of emissions under calm conditions, while the broader Minas Gerais industrial airshed influences background pollution across the entire eastern corridor.
