In Geldern, air quality is shaped by the flat Westphalian plain, with vehicle traffic along the regional road network and surrounding arable farming and small-scale manufacturing as the main local sources. The flat, open terrain generally allows reasonable pollutant dispersal, while the broader Rhine-Ruhr industrial background and Atlantic westerlies from the North Sea shape regional conditions throughout the year.
