Parnamirim's air quality reflects its position adjacent to Natal in the Rio Grande do Norte coastal metropolitan area, sharing the region's consistent Atlantic trade wind ventilation that generally keeps readings moderate. Vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and the Parnamirim Air Base military and commercial aviation activity contribute local NOₓ, while the coastal position and consistent northeast trade winds generally maintain favourable air quality throughout most of the year.
