São Caetano do Sul's air quality is significantly influenced by its position at the heart of the ABC Paulista automotive manufacturing corridor south of São Paulo, with General Motors' historic plant and the surrounding automotive suppliers and manufacturing operations generating elevated PM2.5, VOCs, and NOₓ alongside heavy traffic on the Via Anchieta. The Greater São Paulo basin's poor dispersal characteristics compound the industrial corridor's emissions, making São Caetano do Sul one of the metropolitan area's more persistently polluted municipalities throughout the year.
