Cuxhaven's local air quality is shaped mainly by vehicle traffic on local and regional roads and surrounding agricultural and light manufacturing activity, set within the inland Lower Saxon countryside near the Harz foothills. The inland setting gives fairly even dispersal conditions overall, while Atlantic westerlies and the region's mixed farmland-forest setting keep background levels moderate throughout the year.
