Xırdalan's air quality reflects the Azerbaijan Abşeron Peninsula's flat Caspian Sea coastal position adjacent to the Baku metropolitan area, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the petroleum extraction legacy and residential character contributing local sources. The Caspian Sea breezes provide coastal ventilation, while the pervasive petroleum industrial infrastructure's regional background and the Sumqayıt industrial corridor elevate background readings and Xırdalan generally maintains moderate to elevated Azerbaijani Abşeron Peninsula suburban readings throughout most of the year.
