Patos de Minas' air quality reflects its position in the Minas Gerais Noroeste plateau at 838 metres, with vehicle emissions from the BR-365 and the surrounding soybean, coffee, and dairy agribusiness operations contributing local sources in this major northwestern Minas Gerais commercial hub. The elevated plateau position aids background dispersal, while dry season burning from surrounding Cerrado agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation between June and September, making agricultural burning the dominant seasonal air quality influence across the region.
