Pardubice's air quality reflects the Elbe river valley in eastern Bohemia, with vehicle traffic on the D11 motorway and the Syntesia chemical manufacturing complex generating elevated industrial emissions alongside winter residential wood and coal burning. The flat Bohemian-Moravian plain provides reasonable dispersal on most wind days, while the chemical industry's distinctive emission profile makes Pardubice one of the Czech Republic's more industrially defined urban air quality environments.
