Pouso Alegre's air quality reflects its position in the Minas Gerais southern plateau at 838 metres near the Paraíba do Sul watershed, with vehicle emissions from the BR-459 and the surrounding automotive parts, food processing, and chemicals manufacturing industry contributing local sources. The elevated Serra da Mantiqueira foothills position aids background dispersal, while dry season burning from surrounding Minas Gerais agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation and the manufacturing corridor's industrial character generates moderate persistent emission levels.
