São Cristóvão's air quality reflects the greater Aracaju metropolitan area in Sergipe, with vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and surrounding mixed industrial, historical, and residential character contributing local sources in this UNESCO heritage city. Atlantic trade winds from the Sergipe coast provide background maritime ventilation, while the growing metropolitan expansion drives increasing vehicle emissions throughout the year.
