Santa Rita's air quality reflects its position in the greater João Pessoa metropolitan area on the Paraíba coast, with vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and the surrounding industrial district and port operations at the nearby Cabedelo port contributing elevated NOₓ and industrial PM2.5. Atlantic trade winds from the Paraíba coast generally provide background maritime ventilation, while the coastal metropolitan expansion's growing road traffic is the primary driver of increasing local emissions throughout the year.
