Ancona's air quality reflects the Marche Adriatic coast, with the Port of Ancona's ferry and cargo operations and vehicle traffic on the A14 motorway generating local sources. The Conero promontory to the southeast creates distinctive topographic variation, while the Adriatic sea breezes generally provide reliable maritime ventilation and the port's ferry operations to Croatia and Greece contribute maritime NOₓ along the harbour corridor throughout the year.
