Air quality in Mount Gambier is generally excellent, aided by the region's higher rainfall, cooler climate and lack of major industry beyond forestry and agriculture. Occasional smoke can arise from forestry operations or planned burns within the Green Triangle plantations, and summer bushfire smoke can affect the district during dry spells, but background conditions are typically clean given the town's relatively isolated, low-density setting.
