Marseille's air quality is shaped by the Mistral wind that periodically delivers powerful clean air from the Rhône valley, producing some of France's clearest conditions. However, the city's industrial petrochemical complex at Fos-sur-Mer to the west and heavy port traffic contribute elevated SO₂ and PM2.5, while calm summer periods without the Mistral allow traffic emissions to accumulate.
