Meppel, known locally as a canal-junction farmland town, sees air quality conditions typical of Drenthe, with traffic on the A32 motorway and local industry contributing the main sources of urban pollution. Thanks partly to the Reest and Wold canals, dispersal stays reasonable, and the sandy Drenthe farmland at the Overijssel border keeps year-round conditions close to the Dutch national average.
