Athens' air quality has improved substantially since the 1990s smog crisis but remains challenging in summer, when traffic emissions, the enclosed Attica basin, and intense solar radiation combine to produce high ozone concentrations. The meltemi winds provide natural ventilation in summer, while winter wood burning and diesel traffic elevate PM2.5 across the urban basin.
