Palermo's air quality reflects the Sicilian capital's position in the Conca d'Oro basin, with the surrounding Monte Pellegrino and Conca d'Oro hills partially enclosing the urban area and limiting dispersal on calm days. Vehicle emissions from the dense city centre traffic and ferry terminal activity in the port are the primary sources, while summer Scirocco winds from North Africa periodically carry Saharan dust across Sicily.
