Palmares' air quality reflects the Pernambuco coastal Zona da Mata sugarcane corridor, with vehicle emissions from the PE-60 and the surrounding sugarcane processing and agricultural operations contributing organic aerosols and local vehicle NOₓ. Atlantic trade winds from the Pernambuco coast provide background maritime ventilation, while the sugarcane belt's harvest season processing represents the most distinctive seasonal local air quality influence and the coastal metropolitan expansion drives increasing vehicle emissions throughout the year.
