Bergamo's air quality faces the Po Valley's most severe topographic challenge, with the Bergamo prealps creating a dramatic northern wall that traps vehicle and industrial emissions under winter anticyclones in one of northern Italy's most densely industrialised corridors. The city consistently records EU exceedances for both PM2.5 and NO₂ throughout the year.
