Saquarema's air quality benefits from its Atlantic coastal position on the Rio de Janeiro state Costa do Sol, with consistent Atlantic sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along this resort and surfing destination coastline. Vehicle emissions from the RJ-106 and seasonal tourism traffic are the primary local sources, while the open ocean exposure and coastal position generally maintain good baseline conditions throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Saquarema based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
