Tallinn's air quality is generally good by European standards, benefiting from clean Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland airflows that dominate conditions throughout most of the year. The primary concerns are residential wood and oil shale burning during cold winter periods generating localised PM2.5 peaks, while the nearby Narva oil shale power stations to the east contribute background SO₂ under easterly wind conditions.
