Cottbus's air quality reflects the flat Brandenburg lowland, with vehicle traffic on the A15 motorway and the proximity to the Lausitz lignite open-cast mining and power station complex generating elevated SO₂ and industrial PM2.5 alongside the primary local vehicle sources. The flat North German plain provides reasonable wind dispersal on most days, while the remaining lignite power plants elevate background SO₂ and PM2.5 above typical German urban averages.
