Sopron's air quality reflects the Hungarian-Austrian border position in the Sopron hills, with vehicle traffic on the M85 motorway and the surrounding manufacturing and cross-border commuter operations contributing local sources. The surrounding Sopron hills and the Austrian Rosalia mountains create topographic variation, while Atlantic westerlies from the Pannonian basin generally provide reasonable ventilation and the border crossing traffic generates concentrated vehicle emissions throughout the year.
