Leidschendam carries the profile of a canal town between two cities in Zuid-Holland, which shows up in its air quality, as the A4 corridor and area businesses supply most of the local pollution load. With the Vliet canal close by supporting air movement, and the polder land between Leiden and The Hague shaping the local climate, conditions generally track the wider Dutch average.
