Asunción's air quality reflects the Paraguay River valley's flat topography providing reasonable wind dispersal, with vehicle emissions from the dense central street network the primary local source. Dry season burning from surrounding Chaco agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5, while the open Pampas airflows generally prevent the most severe pollution accumulation seen in more topographically enclosed South American capitals.
