Lavras' air quality reflects the Minas Gerais southern plateau at 919 metres, with vehicle emissions from the BR-265 and the UFLA federal university campus and surrounding agribusiness research and dairy industry contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids background dispersal, while dry season burning from surrounding Minas Gerais agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation, and the university research character generally maintains lower industrial emissions than comparable sized Brazilian cities.
