Sitting as a wetland-edge market town in Overijssel, Steenwijk's air quality follows patterns common to the region, with traffic on the A32 motorway and local industry contributing the main sources of urban pollution. the Weerribben-Wieden wetland reserve nearby helps with dispersal, and the town's exposure to the peat-lake wetlands of the Kop van Overijssel keeps conditions broadly in line with typical Dutch levels through most of the year.
