Altamura's air quality benefits from the elevated Murge plateau position at 473 metres in inland Puglia, with consistent Adriatic and Ionian sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation across this famous bread producing city. Vehicle traffic on the SS96 and surrounding baking, agricultural, and quarrying operations contribute local sources, while the open flat Puglia plateau and the dual-coast sea breeze ventilation generally maintain moderate to good conditions throughout the year.
