Teófilo Otoni's air quality reflects its position in the Mucuri river valley in the Minas Gerais northeastern border region, with vehicle emissions from the BR-116 and the surrounding gemstone mining, ceramics, and agribusiness operations contributing local sources in this major gemstone trading hub. The valley's topographic enclosure between the Espinhaço range foothills creates modest concentration of emissions under calm conditions, while dry season burning from surrounding Minas Gerais and Bahia Caatinga agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation throughout the year.
