Air quality in Xanten reflects the flat Westphalian plain, with vehicle traffic along the regional road network and surrounding agricultural and food-processing industry contributing the primary local sources. Open farmland surroundings generally allow pollutants to disperse readily, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.
