Mérignac's air quality reflects the greater Bordeaux metropolitan area adjacent to Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, with aviation and ground vehicle emissions generating elevated NOₓ and ultrafine particles in the flight corridor alongside vehicle traffic on the A630 motorway. Atlantic westerlies from the Gironde estuary generally provide maritime ventilation, while the airport's flight corridor makes Mérignac one of southwestern France's more aviation-influenced urban environments throughout the year.
