Bari's air quality reflects the southern Italian Adriatic coast's position, with consistent Adriatic sea breezes generally providing good maritime ventilation across this Puglia regional capital. The port and industrial zone contribute localised emissions, while vehicle traffic on the surrounding tangenziale ring road is the primary urban source. The flat Puglia plain generally allows reasonable dispersal, while summer anticyclonic conditions can allow ozone to accumulate from vehicle and agricultural emissions.
