Agrigento's air quality benefits from its elevated clifftop position at 313 metres overlooking the Valley of the Temples on the Sicilian southern coast, with consistent Mediterranean and Libeccio westerly winds providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the SS189 and tourism traffic are the primary local sources, while the UNESCO heritage archaeological park setting and the Mediterranean coastal exposure generally maintain moderate to good conditions and Saharan dust intrusions periodically deliver elevated PM10 from North Africa.
