Gouda's air quality reflects the flat Dutch river delta position at the junction of the Hollandsche IJssel and Gouwe rivers, with vehicle traffic on the A12 motorway and surrounding food manufacturing — Gouda being famous for its cheese — contributing local sources. The flat Dutch polder landscape provides reasonable dispersal, while North Sea westerlies carry relatively clean Atlantic air and the surrounding greenhouse agriculture contributes localised NOₓ from gas heating throughout the year.
