Sitting on the sandy Campine plain near the Dutch border, Turnhout sees vehicle traffic and light industry across the plain as the dominant local influence on air quality, while the surrounding Antwerpen terrain affects how pollutants disperse. Calm, still conditions tend to let levels build here more than in breezier weather, and the local topography around Turnhout can trap emissions for longer stretches during stable atmospheric periods.
