Merano, in the Adige valley beneath the Alps, sees vehicle traffic funnelled through the narrow alpine valley as its principal air quality driver. The Trentino-Alto Adige terrain shapes local dispersion, and while breezy, unsettled weather usually brings swift improvement, prolonged calm periods can let pollutant levels climb noticeably.
