Backnang sits within the Neckar valley and Swabian countryside, where vehicle traffic on local and regional roads and nearby machine-tool and automotive-parts manufacturing contribute the main local air quality sources. The elevated Swabian terrain generally provides better dispersal than lower valley floors, while the Neckar valley's industrial background and prevailing regional winds shape air quality throughout the year.
