Békéscsaba's air quality reflects the flat Great Hungarian Plain in Békés county, with vehicle traffic on the M44 motorway and surrounding food processing, agricultural, and manufacturing industry contributing local sources. Winter residential heating and temperature inversions on the open Alföld generate seasonal PM2.5 challenges, while the flat Pannonian plain provides reasonable dispersal on most days and the Maros-Körös river valley provides limited ventilation corridors throughout the year.
