Olbia's air quality benefits from its Sardinian Costa Smeralda position on the Gulf of Olbia, with consistent Mediterranean and Mistral-influenced northwesterly winds providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the SS125 and the Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport's aviation operations contribute local sources, while the summer tourism season generates concentrated traffic and aviation emissions and Saharan dust intrusions periodically affect the northeastern Sardinian coast throughout the year.
