Rome's air quality is shaped by the density of the historic centre's traffic, with scooters and diesel vehicles in the enclosed streets of the ancient city generating persistent NO₂ and PM10. The Tiber valley provides a ventilation corridor on westerly winds, while winter temperature inversions trap emissions across the seven hills on calm days.
