In Amberg, air quality is shaped by the Franconian river-valley countryside, with traffic on the surrounding road network and surrounding agricultural and small-manufacturing activity as the main local sources. Gently rolling Franconian terrain generally allows moderate dispersal, while regional westerly winds and scattered local industry shape background air quality throughout the year.
