Santo André's air quality is significantly influenced by its position in the ABC Paulista industrial core south of São Paulo, sharing the broader Greater São Paulo basin's poor dispersal characteristics. Vehicle and industrial emissions from the automotive and petrochemical corridor are the primary sources, and the Serra do Mar escarpment to the south can trap emissions under southerly wind conditions.
