Gallarate's air quality faces the Po Valley's enclosed flat basin in the Varese province, with vehicle traffic on the A8 motorway and the surrounding manufacturing and Malpensa Airport's significant aviation operations generating elevated NOₓ and industrial PM2.5. The flat Lombard plain's persistent winter anticyclones trap emissions, while the Malpensa Airport's proximity makes Gallarate one of northwestern Italy's more aviation-influenced industrial municipalities throughout the year.
