Alcamo's air quality reflects its position on the slopes of Monte Bonifato in western Sicily, with agricultural activity and vehicle traffic on the coastal plain contributing the main local sources through the year. Weather patterns typical of Sicilia shape how quickly pollutants clear, with conditions generally improving whenever winds pick up or rain moves through, while calmer, high-pressure spells tend to let local emissions accumulate for longer than elsewhere in the region.
