Sitting as a peat-colony canal town in Groningen, Winschoten's air quality follows patterns common to the region, as vehicles on the A7 and the town's own industry make up the bulk of local emissions. Thanks partly to the Winschoterdiep canal, dispersal stays reasonable, and the peat-colony farmland of East Groningen keeps year-round conditions close to the Dutch national average.
