Poços de Caldas' air quality benefits from its elevated position on the Minas Gerais plateau at 1,184 metres, with the surrounding Serra da Canastra foothills providing clean background air on most days. Vehicle emissions from the BR-267 and the surrounding mining and ceramics industry contribute local sources, while the elevated position and the natural thermal spring environment's clean mountain air generally maintain better conditions than lowland Brazilian cities. Dry season burning from surrounding Minas Gerais agricultural land adds seasonal variation.
