São Bento do Sul's air quality reflects the northeastern Santa Catarina highlands at 835 metres, with vehicle emissions from the SC-301 and surrounding furniture and metalworking manufacturing industry contributing local sources in this major Brazilian furniture production hub. The elevated plateau position aids background dispersal, while wood dust and lacquer VOC emissions from the furniture operations represent the most distinctive local air quality signature and dry season burning contributes seasonal variation.
