Air quality in Lemgo reflects the flat Westphalian plain, with traffic on nearby federal roads and local streets and surrounding arable farming and small-scale manufacturing contributing the primary local sources. The flat, open terrain generally allows reasonable pollutant dispersal, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.
