Palhoça's air quality reflects the greater Florianópolis metropolitan area's mainland southern corridor in Santa Catarina, with vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and the surrounding industrial and residential expansion of this rapidly growing Florianópolis satellite municipality contributing elevated NOₓ. Atlantic sea breezes from the Santa Catarina Bay provide coastal ventilation, while the Serra do Mar's proximity to the inland creates topographic variation throughout the year.
