Vilnius' air quality faces significant winter challenges, with residential wood and oil heating generating elevated PM2.5 during cold periods alongside vehicle traffic on the ring road. The Neris river valley provides a ventilation corridor through the city, while Baltic westerlies generally keep summer conditions at good levels. Lithuania's ongoing transition from Soviet-era heating infrastructure is gradually improving the winter PM2.5 situation across the capital.
