Mulhouse's air quality reflects the Upper Rhine valley at the Franco-German-Swiss tri-border, with vehicle traffic on the A35 motorway and the surrounding automotive and chemical manufacturing legacy — including the former Peugeot-Citroën manufacturing corridor — contributing elevated NOₓ and PM2.5. The Rhine valley provides ventilation on westerly winds, while the Vosges to the west and the Black Forest to the east create partial topographic enclosure under calm conditions.
