Recife's air quality benefits from consistent Atlantic trade winds off the Pernambuco coast that provide reliable ventilation across this low-lying northeastern Brazilian city. Vehicle emissions from the greater metropolitan area are the primary local source, and the coastal position generally keeps readings more favourable than Brazil's larger inland industrial centres on most days.
