Setúbal owes much of its air quality variation to port and vehicle traffic around the Sado estuary industrial belt, compounded by its position on the Sado river estuary south of Lisbon. The surrounding Setúbal terrain can either help disperse or trap these emissions depending on the weather, with active, breezy conditions generally bringing the clearest air.
