Mouscron's air quality reflects the Flemish-Walloon border position adjacent to the French Roubaix-Tourcoing textile conurbation, with vehicle traffic on the E17 and surrounding former textile industry and logistics operations generating elevated NOₓ alongside cross-border pollution from France's Nord industrial zone. The flat Flemish plain provides reasonable dispersal, while the Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing conurbation's cross-border emissions make Mouscron one of Belgium's more French industrial-influenced border communities throughout the year.
