Roubaix's air quality reflects the Franco-Belgian textile metropolitan conurbation, with vehicle traffic on the A22 and surrounding former textile and logistics industry in the Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing agglomeration contributing elevated NOₓ and PM2.5. Cross-border pollution from the Belgian industrial Sambre-Meuse valley and the dense metropolitan vehicle density make the Lille conurbation one of northern France's more challenging urban air quality environments throughout the year.
