Dachau's air quality reflects its position in the Franconian river-valley countryside, with vehicle traffic along the regional road network and nearby light industry and farming contributing local sources. Gently rolling Franconian terrain generally allows moderate dispersal, while regional traffic corridors and the wider Franconian industrial base shape conditions throughout the year.
