Vlorë's air quality reflects its position on the Albanian Adriatic coast with the surrounding Vlorë Bay providing consistent Adriatic sea breeze ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the SH8 and the growing port and oil industry operations — Vlorë having Albania's main oil terminal — contribute elevated NOₓ and industrial emissions, while rapid post-communist motorisation has substantially increased vehicle emissions in this formerly low-pollution coastal city, and the Adriatic coastal position generally provides maritime ventilation that maintains moderate baseline conditions on most days.
