Sønderborg's air quality benefits from its position on the narrow Als Sound, where water on both sides usually keeps local emissions moving. Cross-border traffic toward Germany and ferry-linked freight are the main local sources, though the town's compact scale keeps concentrations well below those of Denmark's larger cities.
