Jequié's air quality reflects its position in the Contas river valley in the Bahia interior semi-arid Sertão, with vehicle emissions from the BR-116 and the surrounding sisal, food processing, and leather industry contributing local sources. The Chapada Diamantina highlands to the north and the semi-arid Caatinga landscape create topographic variation, while drought conditions and dry season burning from surrounding Bahia agricultural and Caatinga scrubland contribute seasonal PM10 and PM2.5 variation across this major Bahia interior commercial city.
