Ahaus sits within the flat Westphalian plain, where local traffic and nearby regional through-roads and nearby farming and food-processing activity contribute the main local air quality sources. The flat, open terrain generally allows reasonable pollutant dispersal, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.
