Aix-en-Provence's air quality reflects its position in the Provençal basin between the Sainte-Victoire range and the Chaîne de l'Étoile, with vehicle traffic on the A8 and A51 motorways and summer tourist traffic contributing local sources. The Mistral wind provides powerful periodic ventilation from the Rhône valley, while calm Mediterranean anticyclonic summer conditions allow ozone from vehicle emissions and the surrounding chemical industry at the Fos-sur-Mer complex upwind to accumulate across the enclosed Aix basin.
