Pontal's air quality reflects the São Paulo state interior plateau at 530 metres in the heart of the Ribeirão Prêto sugarcane belt, with vehicle emissions from the SP-330 Anhanguera and surrounding sugarcane, orange, and agribusiness processing contributing local sources. Dry season burning from surrounding agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation, while the elevated plateau position aids background dispersal and the sugarcane processing operations make agricultural burning the primary seasonal air quality influence throughout the year.
