São Paulo's ABC Paulista industrial corridor air quality reflects one of Brazil's most concentrated industrial zones, with vehicle traffic on the Via Anchieta and Imigrantes highways and the surrounding automotive, petrochemical, and steel manufacturing operations generating elevated PM2.5 and NOₓ. The Serra do Mar escarpment creates topographic enclosure, while the São Paulo basin's poor dispersal characteristics maintain the ABC corridor as one of the greater metropolitan area's more industrially impacted environments throughout the year.
