Santa Luzia's air quality is significantly influenced by its position in the northern Belo Horizonte metropolitan ring, with vehicle emissions from the MG-010 and the surrounding mixed residential and quarrying operations contributing elevated PM10 and PM2.5. The Belo Horizonte basin's enclosed topography affects the entire metropolitan area, while limestone quarrying dust from the surrounding Carste de Lagoa Santa karst region adds a distinctive local contribution to the PM10 burden across the northern metropolitan municipalities.
