Dobrich's air quality reflects the flat Dobruja agricultural plateau in northeastern Bulgaria, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding road network and agricultural dust from the surrounding Dobruja grain farming contributing local sources. Winter residential wood and coal burning generates elevated PM2.5, while the flat Black Sea coastal plain generally allows reasonable wind dispersal and the Black Sea's easterly and northeasterly breezes provide periodic maritime ventilation.
