Winterswijk's air quality reflects its position as an eastern-border farmland town in Gelderland, as the N18 corridor and area businesses supply most of the local pollution load. With the Achterhoek farmland and Duitse Border woodland in the vicinity aiding air flow, and the hilly Achterhoek border landscape part of the local picture, readings stay close to the national norm.
