Auckland's air quality is generally good by international standards, with the Waitemata Harbour and Manukau Harbour dual-coastal position providing reliable Pacific and Tasman Sea maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the Auckland Motorway and surrounding services and manufacturing corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding dual-harbour coastal exposure and the New Zealand westerly airflows generally maintain Auckland among the Southern Hemisphere's more moderately ventilated major coastal metropolitan environments throughout most of the year.
