Air quality in Brilon reflects the flat Westphalian plain, with vehicle traffic on local and regional roads and surrounding agricultural and food-processing industry contributing the primary local sources. The level Westphalian plain offers few barriers to pollutant dispersal, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.
