Perugia's air quality reflects its position on the elevated Umbrian hills at 493 metres above the Tiber valley, with the hilltown position generally providing better conditions than the enclosed Tiber valley floor below. Vehicle traffic on the E45 motorway and the surrounding tobacco and ceramics manufacturing industry contribute local sources, while the Umbrian valley's topographic variation means Perugia's hilltop districts consistently record cleaner conditions than the industrial valley floor settlements and the ancient walled city perch above the surrounding countryside.
