In Douai, former coalfield industry and motorway traffic is the primary local source affecting air quality, near the Deule, while North Sea winds sweep across the open plains, which provides a natural check on pollution build-up. Cold, still winter weather is the main risk for particulate build-up, while summer usually benefits from stronger regional winds, aside from occasional ozone episodes.
