Pesqueira's air quality reflects the Pernambuco Agreste semi-arid interior at 618 metres in the Ipanema river valley, with vehicle emissions from the PE-145 and surrounding cotton, cattle, and tomato farming operations contributing local sources. The Araripe plateau to the south and the Borborema uplands create topographic variation, while drought conditions and Caatinga burning contribute seasonal PM10 elevation throughout the dry season months in this major tomato producing region.
