Manhuaçu's air quality reflects the Minas Gerais eastern highlands at 659 metres in the major coffee producing Serra do Caparaó foothills, with vehicle emissions from the BR-262 and surrounding coffee processing, dairy, and light manufacturing contributing local sources. The surrounding Serra do Caparaó highlands create topographic variation, while Atlantic sea breezes from the nearby Espírito Santo coast provide periodic ventilation relief throughout the year.
