Brindisi's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the Edison thermoelectric power station and the surrounding petrochemical and fertiliser complex, generating elevated SO₂ and industrial PM2.5 in the Adriatic coastal plain. The Adriatic sea breezes provide coastal ventilation on easterly winds, while the flat Puglia plain generally allows reasonable dispersal and the industrial complex's scale represents Brindisi's most distinctive and persistent local air quality challenge.
