Avignon's air quality benefits from the Rhône valley's channelling of the Mistral wind, which periodically delivers powerful clean air from the north providing some of France's most dramatic natural ventilation events. Vehicle traffic on the A7 and A9 motorways and summer tourist traffic are the primary local sources, while calm Mediterranean anticyclonic summer conditions allow ozone to accumulate from vehicle and agricultural emissions across the Rhône delta corridor.
