Sandnes' air quality benefits from the Stavanger metropolitan area's Boknafjord coastal position, with consistent North Sea westerlies providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the E39 and the surrounding industrial and residential corridor contribute local sources, while the North Sea's powerful maritime airflows and the fjord's open geometry generally maintain Sandnes among the Rogaland region's more moderate urban environments throughout most of the year.
