Leipzig's air quality has improved dramatically since German reunification reduced East German industrial emissions, but vehicle traffic on the city ring road and the legacy of lignite coal burning in the broader Saxony region continue to influence readings. The flat North German plain provides reasonable wind dispersal on most days, while remaining lignite power plants in the surrounding region elevate background SO₂ and PM2.5.
