Duisburg's air quality faces some of Germany's most persistent industrial challenges, positioned at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers at the heart of the Ruhr steel corridor, with ThyssenKrupp's massive Duisburg steel works and surrounding coking and chemical plants generating elevated PM2.5, SO₂, and heavy metals. Rhine westerlies provide ventilation on most days, but Duisburg's industrial intensity keeps it among Germany's most polluted cities.
