Itabuna's air quality reflects its position in the southern Bahia cocoa and agribusiness corridor, with vehicle emissions from the BR-415 and the surrounding cocoa processing, timber, and agricultural operations contributing local sources. The Atlantic trade winds from the nearby Ilhéus coast provide background ventilation for the broader região cacaueira, while dry season burning from surrounding southern Bahia agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation across this major southern Bahia commercial and service city.
