Várzea Grande's air quality reflects its position adjacent to Cuiabá in the Mato Grosso lowland, sharing the capital's severe dry season burning challenge from surrounding Amazon and Cerrado agricultural deforestation. Vehicle emissions from the BR-364 and the Marechal Rondon International Airport traffic contribute year-round, while the flat Cuiabá river plain and the enclosed Pantanal basin's calm dry season conditions allow smoke to accumulate alongside urban emissions during the burning season months.
